Ottawa @ Montreal Preview
My Team's Next MatchOttawa Senators
These two teams played in a home-and-home series last weekend and the Habs outscored Ottawa 8-2 en route to a 2-0 SU record. Those victories helped create a bit of a gap between the two in the heated race in the Atlantic division.
Since then Ottawa has gone 2-0 SU while Montreal went 0-2 SU to regain that ground. With 1st place in the Atlantic on the line again, can Ottawa get over the hump this time around? After last week's victories and tonight's game being on home ice, it's not surprising to see Montreal enter as -155 favourites, but that number still might be a little high.
There is no question that Ottawa will be hell-bent on getting revenge this evening, and with their play being much better than Montreal's since last weekend, the underdog Senators have the much better current form. With the Sens being 6-1 SU when coming off a win, and 20-7 SU after a single day off, they are the play with the most value here, especially when you consider that Montreal is just 3-8 SU in their last 11 at home.

Best NHL Bets Tonight | March 25, 2017
Tonight's NHL betting board is as busy as any other Saturday during the season, but the stakes get higher and higher with each passing week. Every team in the league has less than 10 games remaining in the regular season and with so much still left unsettled it will be interesting to see how the final standings eventually shake out. Here are some other great bets for tonight's NHL card:
- Florida Panthers ML (+125) - The Panthers playoff hopes are basically on life support right now, but with Chicago having a nice cushion on their side, three OT games in the last four catches up with the Hawks tonight.
- Arizona/Washington Over 5.5 (+110) - Complete mismatch here in talent as Washington should go on the attack early to get the critical two points in the standings. But rather then lay the steep -350 price on them to win, I expect to see plenty of goals from Ovechkin and company with Arizona chipping in with a couple to push this total over.
- L.A Kings ML (-135) - L.A is another team pretty much on life support in terms of the playoffs, as they've likely got to win out to have a chance. The Kings are more then capable of doing so and it begins tonight against the Rangers.
