If we’re comparing it to the Saturday meeting, that game closed at 6.5 (-120) to the Under, and looking at expected goals, likely should have hit the Over. Montreal is a bad team but I’m not rushing to get the Sens at -180 — especially with the variance of this being the last game before a long break. Montreal did finish with 3.35 expected goals in the 5-0 loss, but this team is just lacking players who can finish, and if bettors like the Sens and the Over, the smarter play might be on an Ottawa team total Over 3.5. The total opened at 6.5 (-120 to the Under) and hasn’t seen much movement. The Senators are 7-1 SU in their last eight games vs. Giroux has been a point-per-game skater since December 1 and leads the team with 27 points over that stretch of 27 games. The Habs might not have the worst record in hockey, but they’re being priced as the worst team by oddsmakers and that isn’t an overreaction. The Canadiens are rolling with a bare-bones lineup and running on fumes heading into an 11-day break. the Ottawa Senators who sit 24th in points with a 23-26 SU record. He was also announced as the NHL's first star of the week with seven points over three games. He has eight points over his last four games and has recorded a helper in each one of those contests. The Sens blanked the losing-focus Habs 5-0 on Saturday as -240 favorites and sit as -180 road favorites tonight at the Bell Centre.

Believe it or not, but the Canadiens are 25-25 overall ATS this season and could find themselves north of .500 in that category if they can finally string together a solid performance in tonight’s rematch versus Ottawa. While Montembault has been far from efficient this season, he is at least shown tendencies of being a good goalie thanks to his strong skill set and raw talent that he possesses. Without a doubt, Ottawa would be foolish to not ride with the hot hand in Forsberg later this evening. Currently, Tkachuk has been a huge offensive threat for the Senators as he leads the club in assists and points. When taking a closer look at Ottawa’s last few games played, they have managed to score 13 goals in 180 minutes of action and are seemingly hitting on all cylinders at just the right time. With the win, Ottawa has now won three games in a row as they look to improve upon an impressive three-game winning streak.

Brady Tkachuk's goal with 1:18 remaining in the third period broke a 4-4 draw and gave the Ottawa Senators a 5-4 win over the Montreal Canadiens.
