Oilers vs. Senators Pick
Money Line pick for Oilers vs. Senators
- Oilers (4 units)
The Oilers are mired in a three-game losing streak and the Senators have lost four of their last five games. Ottawa has been scoring as of late but their defense has been the main issue, as they rank tied for last in the league giving up an average of five goals per game and have given up 16 goals in their last three games. Edmonton has had issues scoring the puck so far on the season but they will get their attack going in this game facing a struggling Senators’ defense. Regarding the Edmonton Oilers vs. Ottawa Senators prediction the Senators will get some goals but their defense will give up more, which is why the Oilers are the pick.
Over/Under Pick for Oilers vs. Senators
Over (4 units)
The total has gone Under for the last three games for the Senators and that is the pick I am leaning towards in this non-conference clash. The Senators rank tied for last in the league in goals against per game (5.00) and they have given up a total of 16 goals in their last three games. Even with Draisaitl and McDavid the Oilers have not got it going on the attack but they will be in this game facing a sketchy Ottawa defense. The Senators have been legit on the attack scoring four goals in each of their last three games but they lost two of them. Both teams will score a few goals in this game and in a high-scoring affair the Over is the pick.
