The Senators are coming into this contest as a +180 underdog with the current betting odds according to the bookmakers. Both of these teams will be rested for this game and might come out a little sluggish since neither team has played a game in a while now. The Oilers have played more often than the Senators have been playing but the Oilers have not been playing well in their NHL games with 5 straight losses coming into this one. The Oilers have a lot of players that will likely miss this game due to covid so their lineup is not as strong as it would be and they have already been playing poorly in recent games. The Senators have not played in 10 days prior to this game and they have been sitting on a bad 6-0 loss where they were shut out. They will be looking to play much better here and try to steal a win from an Oilers team that has not been great recently. The best wager to place in this game is on the Senators on the puckline as they have a chance to steal one and be the winner here but should at least keep this game close.
