The Winnipeg Jets and Ottawa Senators meet Tuesday in NHL action at the Canadian Tire Centre.

The Winnipeg Jets look for a win to get a game above a .500 record. The Winnipeg Jets are averaging four goals per game and are scoring on 25 percent of their power play opportunities. Patrik Laine leads Winnipeg with two goals, Kyle Connor has two assists and Mark Scheifele has six shots on goal. Defensively, the Winnipeg Jets are allowing three goals per game and are killing 66.7 percent of their opponents power plays. Connor Hellebuyck has given up three goals on 26 shots faced.

The Ottawa Senators look for a victory here to get a game above a .500 record. The Ottawa Senators are averaging 3.5 goals per game and are scoring on 10 percent of their power play opportunities. Derek Stepan leads Ottawa with one goal, Nikita Zaitsev has three assists and Brady Tkachuk has seven shots on goal. Defensively, the Ottawa Senators are allowing three goals per game and are killing 66.7 percent of their opponents power plays. Matt Murray has allowed six goals on 63 shots faced.

The Jets are 2-5 in their last 7 games playing on 0 days rest and 5-0 in their last 5 games as a favorite. The Senators are 16-36 in their last 52 Tuesday games and 4-1 in their last 5 home games. The under is 5-2-2 in Jets last 9 road games. The over is 4-1 in Senators last 5 home games. The Jets are 6-2 in the last 8 meetings. The favorite is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings. The under is 7-3-1 in the last 11 meetings in Ottawa.

The Winnipeg Jets are on the end of a back to back, but they’re still clearly the better team in this contest. The Ottawa Senators are a team we’ve faded the last couple of years and it’s paid off nicely. The Senators are a team I don’t trust much based on their track record the last couple of years, and they’ve had no recent success against the Jets. We’re not being asked to lay crazy juice. I have to side with the Jets on the road.
