Trends
Montreal is 2-5 in their last 7 Saturday games and 1-8 in their last 9 games against the Atlantic. The under is 7-3-1 in Montreal’s last 11 road games. Ottawa is 5-1 in their last 6 games against the Atlantic and 18-42 in their last 60 Saturday games. The under is 9-2 in Ottawa’s last 11 home games. The under is 13-5-1 in these two teams last 19 head to head meetings.
Pick
Ottawa comes into this game on the second game of a back to back after defeating Pittsburgh last night. Montreal has lost three of their last four games and is dealing with injury issues. These two teams are at the bottom of the Atlantic Division, but Ottawa is in better shape right now. I like the Senators to win by at least two goals.
