Ottawa Senators vs. Montreal Canadiens Prediction
We cashed in on this matchup last week, and while I wouldn't just blindly bet the same thing for that reason, it would be really hard for me not to pull the trigger here. The over has now hit in six straight contests between the two squads, and they are getting there with contributions from both sides. Last time out, Ottawa carried hard in a 6-2 victory to cash the o6.5; tonight back on home ice, it is Montreal's turn to get some biscuits in the basket. They were the victors of the first two meetings this season by scores of 4-3 and 6-4, but were brought back down to earth in the season series a bit last week.
A key factor in hitting totals is early scoring, and Ottawa is the number one team in the league for total first period scoring. They rank first for 1p o1.5's at 30/42, good for a 71.43% clip. They are 7-3 in the last 10, and are ranked first for the GIFT as well for the exact same split across all three categories.
