Wild vs Senators

Senators Look to Hold Their Ground at Home

Grade B+: Senators Moneyline (-145)

The Senators, riding a three-game win streak, aim to defend home ice against a surging Wild team that has won four of its last six. Ottawa’s top line, anchored by Tim Stützle and Brady Tkachuk, has been dominant lately, but their defence could open the door for Minnesota’s fast-paced attack. The Wild, led by Kirill Kaprizov, have consistently found ways to generate offense, but they’ve struggled historically in Ottawa, dropping four of their last five matchups there. With the Senators needing every point to stay in the Eastern Conference playoff mix and their offense clicking, expect them to capitalize on home-ice advantage and extend their winning streak.

Wild Aim to Cover in Tough Road Test

Grade B: Wild Puckline -1.5 (-218)

The high-flying Wild head to Ottawa riding a three-game hot streak, while the Senators have also strung together three straight wins of their own as they push for a playoff spot. Minnesota has been dominant in recent weeks, led by Kirill Kaprizov’s offensive explosiveness and solid goaltending from Filip Gustavsson, but playing on the road against a physical Sens squad won’t be easy. Brady Tkachuk and Tim Stützle have powered Ottawa’s offense, Minnesota’s depth and recent defensive improvements should give them enough of an edge to not just win but cover the puck line.
