Blue Jackets vs Senators

Brady Tkachuk has been a driving force for the Senators during their three-game winning run, while the Blue Jackets stumble in on a two-game slide. Ottawa still awaits the return of a sidelined forward, yet Columbus faces its own setback with a top-pair defenseman nursing an injury. Historically, the Senators have fared well against other Atlantic Division foes, giving them an added edge in this matchup. Given their hot streak, relatively healthy roster, and stronger head-to-head record, Ottawa’s -195 moneyline pick earns a confident A- rating for both probability and potential payout. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Johnny Gaudreau leads the Blue Jackets into this tough road test after they dropped their last two games, while the Senators ride a three-game winning streak fueled by strong net-front play from Tim Stützle and a rejuvenated offense. With Josh Norris still sidelined for Ottawa, Claude Giroux has increased his minutes, and this shift in deployment has helped the Senators win four of their last five against Eastern Conference foes. Historically, Columbus has struggled in these matchups, allowing multiple goals in each of their previous meetings, which sets an expectation for a high-scoring affair. Backing the Over at 6.5 is a solid B+ pick with promising upside. Take the shot: sparks will fly in the offensive zone. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Johnny Gaudreau continues to fuel the Columbus Blue Jackets’ recent two-game winning streak, providing potent offense alongside a healthy Boone Jenner and a blue line anchored by Zach Werenski. Despite minor injury concerns for Ottawa’s Thomas Chabot, the Senators hope to rebound from a narrow defeat that snapped their own short win streak. Historically, the Jackets have outpaced many Atlantic Division foes on home ice, but the Senators have shown fight on the road when firing on all cylinders. Given the moderate risk and decent payout potential, this puckline wager earns a sturdy B+ rating with a rewarding backing if Columbus covers. Odds and availability are subject to change.
