Grab the Senators at +113 (decimal 2.13) in Dallas in a heartbeat. They just shouldn’t be underdogs here. This will be the first leg of back-to-back games for Ottawa. I expect a matchup between Craig Anderson and Kari Lehtonen based on scheduling. The Sens beat the Stars 3-2 a month ago. They have also won the last matchup in Dallas by a 7-4 mark (November 2015). Both teams are coming off great wins (Dallas won 4-2 in Washington, while Ottawa beat Boston 4-2, after defeating Columbus 3-2).
I’m also taking Pittsburgh at -129 (decimal 1.78) in Winnipeg. The Jets will be playing a 4th game in 6 nights. Goalie Connor Hellebuyck has been much better than backup Michael Hutchinson. After starting Hellebuyck the last 11 games, it is possible that head coach Paul Maurice turns to Hutchinson (he did play some minutes in one of those 11 games, but he hasn’t started any). Letang and Maatta are out, so it’s a good thing Pittsburgh acquired Streit and Hainsey via trades recently. Did you know the Penguins have won 8 of the last 9 matchups between those two teams?
Good luck!
