Ottawa at Chicago

Going to ride the better team that is in better form. That team is Ottawa. The Senators have a winning record after 10 games for the first time in eight seasons. They are riding a three-game winning streak. Ottawa's offense has gone wild in its last two games. The Senators are off back-to-back seven-goal games. They beat the Bruins, 7-2, on Monday and the Capitals in Washington, 7-1, this past Saturday. Washington is the No. 2 defensive team in the NHL, making the Senators' high-scoring road victory even more impressive. Ottawa center Shane Pinto is tied for the league lead in goals with eight. The Blackhawks' two-game winning streak was snapped in their last game, a 3-1 home loss to the Kings this past Sunday. Chicago is averaging 2.9 goals per game, which ranks 22nd. Ottawa is averaging 5.3 goals per game while allowing 1.3 goals per game during its last three games. Take the Senators.
