The Hurricanes are 23-9 in their last 32 games playing on 1 days rest and 40-18 in their last 58 overall. The Senators are 4-1 in their last 5 home games and 1-4 in their last 5 overall. The under is 6-1 in Hurricanes last 7 overall. The over is 6-2-1 in Senators last 9 overall. The Hurricanes are 10-4 in the last 14 meetings. The home team is 33-13 in the last 46 meetings. The favorite is 14-4 in the last 18 meetings.

The Ottawa Senators are a tough out on their home ice, but the bottom line is they're a below average team that has nothing to play for and can't be trusted against quality teams. The Carolina Hurricanes are not only comfortably the better team, but they're looking to lock up a division title, so a motivated side is coming to town. Give me the Canes and the PL for max betting value.
