Ottawa Senators:  5-5-0 last 10

The Panthers are entering this game with 25 points, a 12-7-1 record overall, and they are 5-4-1 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game off a loss against the Winnipeg Jets in their last game, losing that one at home 3-0. No one on the team scored a goal in that game as they were shut out and no one recorded an assist either. Gustav Forsling and Matthew Tkachuk each led the team in shots on net in that game with 4. Sergei Bobrovsky was the starting goalie in that game and he allowed 2 goals on 30 shots with 28 saves and a .933 save percentage. Their offense has scored 58 goals this season averaging 2.9 goals per game and their defense has allowed their opponents to score 55 goals against them allowing 2.8 goals per game.

The Senators are entering this game with 16 points, a 8-8-0 record overall, and they are 6-6-0 in their home games this regular season where they will be in this game.

Mathieu Joseph led the team in assists with 2 while Brady Tkachuk led the team in shots on net in that game with 7.

Their offense has scored 60 goals this season averaging 3.8 goals per game and their defense has allowed their opponents to score 54 goals against them allowing 3.4 goals per game.

The current betting odds have the Panthers listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Panthers have looked really good this season with their 12-7-1 record overall making them one of the best teams in their division right now. They haven't been as good in their road games this season with their 5-4-1 road record but they have a lot more talent and depth than their opponent here. The Senators haven't looked good this season with their 8-8-0 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the division. They have played a majority of their games at home this season but haven't even been that good there with their 6-6-0 home record. The Panthers also lost their last game at home to the Jets and they were shut out in that game so they will be looking to put the puck in the net here against an inferior team. The best way to place a bet here is on the Panthers to win this game.

“There’s factors, not excuses. There’s no excuse. We were (bad) tonight. The factor is that they get fired up. There are 15 games tonight, I think 13 of the road teams are going to win them because there’s too much turkey eaten by the home team. We brought a few drumsticks out on the ice tonight.” - Paul Maurice after his team’s loss against the Jets in their game on Friday.

“You have to forecheck, you have to take the walls away. We did it for a stretch in the second period, but not enough and when we made mistakes, it ended up in the net." - D.J. Smith after his team’s loss against the Islanders in their game on Friday.
