Montreal Canadiens at Ottawa Senators Predictions & Picks

The Over is tipped to cash in this battle of Canadian rivals.

These two teams have produced a string of high-scoring encounters over the past couple of years, and the first three games of this season suggest that trend will continue.

  • The previous three meetings this season produced 7+ goals
  • The Over has cashed in each of the last 8 meetings between the teams
  • Ottawa Senators are 9-3 in their previous 12 games

Head To Head

  • Montreal Canadiens lead the all-time series 91-73-21
  • Montreal Canadiens won 6-5 in overtime when the two teams last met on January 17

Montreal Canadiens Form

Montreal enter this matchup having struggled for consistency over the past several weeks, going 6-6 in their last 12 games.

The Canadiens began this sequence with back-to-back losses, before rallying with a three-game win streak.

That run was halted by a 4-3 overtime defeat at Minnesota, and they then failed to build on a 5-1 victory in Winnipeg as they lost 4-3 in overtime at home to the New York Islanders.

Montreal answered with a 6-2 win at home to Washington, only to then drop back-to-back games on the road, falling 7-5 in San Jose and 6-5 at Anaheim.

The Canadiens did end that road trip on a positive note though, as they beat Los Angeles 4-3.

Ottawa Senators Form

Ottawa return home in good form, having won nine of their previous 12 games and each of the last three.

The Senators began this sequence with a four-game win streak that saw them beat Vegas 7-1, Colorado 5-2 and New Jersey 4-1 at home, and Pittsburgh 3-2 on the road.

Their form dipped as they lost 4-3 at Carolina, and then failed to follow up a 2-1 overtime success in Philadelphia as they lost 2-1 in overtime at home to Detroit.

Ottawa answered with a 5-2 victory in Toronto, only to suffer a 5-4 overtime defeat when they visited Edmonton.

The Senators have not lost since though, wrapping up that road trip with a three-game win streak that saw them down Calgary 4-1, Seattle 7-4 and Vancouver 2-0.

Verdict

These two teams have met three times already this season, and each time we have seen a bunch of goals.

That has been a continuation of a trend that goes back a couple of campaigns, so we are expecting another high-scoring encounter, with Ottawa coming out on top.
