Ottawa won the last meeting 6-3 on Feb. 13 and the Senators ended a seven-game slide with a 2-1 overtime victory over Pittsburgh on Tuesday night. Drake Batherson scored 3:13 into overtime and Joonas Korpisalo stopped 34 of 35 shots for the Senators and he is expected to be in net in tonight's game. He had 21 saves his previous game against San Jose when the Senators lost 2-1. Columbus has lost two in a row and has all but clinched last place in the Metropolitan Division. The Blue Jackets have scored only one goal their past two games, which were losses to Nashville and Montreal. Columbus has won only 12 of 33 home games and it has lost 36 of 51 against Atlantic Division foes. Columbus goalie Daniil Tarasov is 6-9-2 this season and is probable for this game. Take the Senators as a Max Play.
