Tampa Bay can play any style, 13th in the NHL in goals scored. Their defense can shut down weak teams, on a 7-1 run UNDER the total against a team with a losing record. Ottawa has been playing better defense since a coaching change. The Senators are 5-3-2 since Dave Cameron took over as coach. Ottawa, which ranks in the bottom half of the league with 2.62 goals per contest, hasn't scored on a power play in 19 chances over six games. This is the second of a back to back spot for Ottawa, off a 3-2 win at Boston, so don't look for them to play an uptempo game. The UNDER is 8-2-2 when the Senators play on no days rest, plus the team is 20-7-4 UNDER the total against the Eastern Conference. Play the UNDER.
