The set-up: Ottawa is terrible, but its desperate for a win and I think it'll find the back of the net a couple times here as it desperately tries to find any sort of positive momentum. Winnipeg could obviously care less about the Sens problems and I think it'll keep the foot on the gas from start to finish here. Ottawa has the worst defense in the league, allowing over 4 GPG.

The pick: The Jets have seen the total go "over" in eight of their last 11 home games after a four goals or greater home victory in their last outing (beat the Sens 5-1 here two nights ago.) The situation and the trends all point to a higher-scoring 'shootout.'

This is a 10* TOP TOTAL on the OVER Sens/Jets.
