The Tampa Bay Lightning, one of the league's top road teams at 23-9-5, face a Senators squad clinging to playoff relevance. Ottawa's been a mixed bag on their home ice, going 20-12-6, but their defensive structure has been suspect, allowing 3.08 goals per game. That could spell trouble against a Lightning team that's clicking on all cylinders, with Nikita Kucherov leading the charge with 125 points.
Tampa Bay's offense has been potent on the road, averaging 3.59 goals per game, while their defense has been stingy, allowing just 2.75 goals per game. The Senators, meanwhile, have struggled to contain opponents, and with injuries piling up - including key defensemen Tyler Kleven, Carter Yakemchuk, Dennis Gilbert, and Thomas Chabot out - it's unclear how they'll manage the Lightning's scoring depth. Ottawa's still favored, but with a narrow -1.5 spread and a total of 6.5, make your pick or follow the discussion on StreakChat.
