Carolina is listed as a -190 road favorite while Ottawa is a +160 home underdog. The total for this game is set at 6.5 goals.
Matchup History
Carolina’s 4-3 win over Ottawa back on April 4th, 2023, made it back-to-back wins for the Hurricanes in this head-to-head matchup.
Trends
Carolina is 40-18 in their last 58 games overall and 50-22 in their last 72 games against a team with a losing record while the under is 6-1 in their last 7 games overall. Ottawa is 17-47 in their last 64 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600 and 4-1 in their last 5 home games while the under is 17-6-6 in their last 29 Monday games.
Pick
I’m backing the under in this one. This to me just feels like a first to 3 wins kind of game as the Hurricanes have put forth an increased emphasis on playing solid defense while the Senators have had to do so as well as they’re struggling to score. Not a game I’m rushing to bet necessarily, but I think there’s value in backing the under here.
