The set-up: I think the Sens will struggle to score in this difficult road venue. Columbus comes in desperate after eight straight losses. The Sens come in having lost two straight. Ottawa's power-play unit is ranked 28th in the league at just 14.9 percent and I think it'll have difficulties vs. this determined home side, who will be out to control the pace/tempo of this one (note that the Columbus power-play is ranked just 24th in the league.)

The pick: Note that Ottawa has seen the total go under the number in eight of 11 already this month, while Columbus has seen the total dip below the posted number in 15 of 20 this season after a non-conference game. Look for this one to sneak under once it's all said and done.

10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the UNDER Senators/Jackets.
