New York at Ottawa

Linus Ullmark left Ottawa’s win over Florida on Wednesday early in the third period, and the Senators placed him on injured reserve on Thursday with a lower-body injury. Ottawa allows 2.7 goals per game, seventh-fewest in the league, and Ullmark stopped .945 of the shots he faced in the eight games he started. Samuel Ersson has stopped .835 this season, and he allowed four goals on 26 shots in Thursday’s 6-2 loss to San Jose. The Rangers are in the same spot. Igor Shesterkin is out for the season with a knee injury, and Dylan Garand has been in net since. Garand allowed five goals on 35 shots at Toronto on Thursday, and he has allowed four or more in two of his last four appearances. New York scored four or more goals in each of its last two games. Ottawa scores 2.6 goals per game, 24th in the league, and New York allows 2.4, fourth-fewest. Ottawa’s 2.7 was built with Ullmark starting eight of its 11 games and defenseman Thomas Chabot in the lineup for nine of them, and Chabot has missed the last two with an upper-body injury. The OVER is the bet tonight.
