Season: 19-13-1
Tuesday: Ottowa -140
Tough couple of teams to figure like many are (for me) but the tale on Ottowa seems to be they win on the road, lose at home, and the same is true for Toronto. If there's any truth to the possibility that Ottowa's 8-1 win over NJ last time out was a breakout game that would be good news. The road team has won this matchup pretty big in the past. Minor goalie advantage for Ottowa, but I find stats in this matchup difficult with the poor play early for the Senators, although in one road game Gerber defended at 97%. I think for Ottawa to have the better GA, again with some bad performance so far, shows a stronger defense that explains the ML and they have the PK kill advantage 91% to 84%. Ottowa is 8-2 at Toronto last 10. We'll see what happens.
