Ottawa has won five of the past seven meetings, but it looks to avenge a 4-1 loss to the Blue Jackets on Dec. 29 while at the same time ending Columbus's four-game win streak. The Senators come off two tough overtime losses against Montreal and Detroit, but they have won 14 of their past 20 against Metropolitan Division opponents. Ottawa has gone OVER five of six road games, and the Blue Jackets are 19-7-3 OVER their past 29 Tuesday games, including four of their past five. Ottawa is on a 7-3 OVER run overall, 5-1 OVER against the Eastern Conference. Elvis Merzlikins will start for Columbus, and he has a 3.77 goals-against average. Take the Senators as a Max Play, and bet the OVER.

Ottawa at Columbus

December 11, 2025

7:00 PM Eastern

Both teams are on three-game skids, but Ottawa has won four of the past five meetings, although this is the first one this season. The Senators have won six of eight Thursday games, and Columbus has lost six straight playing with one day of rest. The Blue Jackets are playing their fourth game in six days, and they are 1-4 in their past five in that situation. Ottawa has won 10 of 15 against the Metropolitan Division. Columbus has lost seven of nine overall, and it is 4-9 in its past 13 against Eastern Conference teams. Ottawa has gone OVER seven of eight overall and four of five on the road. The Senators are 18-6 OVER against the Eastern Conference. The Blue Jackets have gone OVER four of six, and they are 6-2 OVER their past eight versus the Atlantic Division. Elvis Merzlikins will start for Columbus, and he owns a 3.87 goals-against average and an .885 save percentage. I like the Sens to roll here. Take Ottawa on the puck line and bet the OVER.
