The set-up: Here's a contest which I see being decided late or in extra time. Sure, why not sprinkle a little on the Senators on the money-line as well here. Ottawa easily handled the Canucks 3-0 here two nights ago. The Sens are unquestionably playing their best hockey of the year right now, as they've won four of their last five, including three straight.

The pick: The Canucks returned from a lengthy COVID break and somehow managed to beat the Leafs in two straight, but after the adrenalin wore off, they fell flat here against the Sens, and all signs point to an identical thing happening here in my opinion. I'm laying the price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance, as I expect this one to come right down to the wire.

This is a 6* PUCK-LINE DESTRUCTION on the Senators.
