Ottawa won a wild affair in the first meeting this season, 8-7 in overtime on Oct. 14, and it went OVER by nine goals. The Senators will look to make it three wins in a row following victories over Calgary and San Jose. Linus Ullmark had 36 saves against the Sharks, and he is expected in the net tonight for the Senators, who have gone OVER three straight and four of five. Los Angeles lost four of five following a win, and the Kings defeated Anaheim 2-1 on Friday night. Erik Portillo had 28 saves in his NHL debut for the Kings, so we'll likely see David Rittich tonight in this back-to-back spot. Anaheim outshot the Kings 31-18. Ottawa has had two days off while the Kings are playing on no rest. Take the Senators and the OVER.

Los Angeles at Ottawa
The Ottaa Senators ill host the LA Kings tonight. The Senators haven't looked good or bad to start the season. They have been in a pair of tight checking low scoring games. The Kings have a real strong opportunity to start the season, as they wwill play 7 straight on the road. If they can have some success now, they will have a home laden schedule going forward. They have done a great job in their first two games that they have split, alloing a total of goals in regulation. I think as the year goes on and teams start to sho fatigue and battling injuries, it is a lot easier playing on the road early in the season. I like LA in this one.
