Devils at Senators odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Senators 4, Devils 2

Money line

The SENATORS (-145) are a strong play on home ice as they just have a little more stability in the goalie crease than the Devils (+120) right now. Ottawa was actually looking like a functional NHL team before the All-Star break, too, while New Jersey has looked like a rudderless ship in recent weeks.

Against the spread

The SENATORS -1.5 (+165) is worth a roll of the dice with a small-unit play. Ottawa doesn’t have many victories, but five of its past seven wins, dating back to Dec. 11, have been by two or more goals. If you like Ottawa to win this one, you should like them to win it by at least two goals.

Over/Under

UNDER 6.5 (-125) is worth a look. While the goaltenders in this game aren’t exactly brick walls, the offenses on each of the teams aren’t exactly the cream of the crop, either. Ottawa figures to struggle a little bit with Drake Batherson out of the lineup indefinitely, too.
