Trends
Calgary is 2-5 in their last 7 games following a win and 1-4 in their last 5 games against a team with a losing record while the over is 5-2 in their last 7 games overall. Ottawa is 5-0 in their last 5 games against a team with a losing record and 4-1 in their last 5 games overall while the under is 10-3 in their last 13 home games.
Pick
I’m sticking with the over here. I don’t trust Calgary as far as I can throw them defensively, and Ottawa is starting their third string goalie from the minors here with injuries to their top-two goaltenders who are now out indefinitely. This one should see plenty of goals so give me the over here.
