Boston +145 over Ottawa

Canadian Tire Centre – Ottawa, ON

7:00 PM ET. OT included. Boston had dropped six straight before Saturday’s 3-2 win over Colorado, a game that wasn’t pretty but was honest. It was the kind of game that gets a team out of its own head — blocks, backchecks, and bodies in shooting lanes. They handed the Avs their first regulation loss of the year, and while one win doesn’t mean the Bruins are “back,” it does suggest they’ve bottomed out. That’s usually when value starts showing up.

There’s nothing fluky about Boston’s slump either. The Bruins were simply snakebit. Their 5-on-5 metrics during that skid were fine — possession was there, shot quality was there — the finishing just wasn’t. A team playing hard and not getting rewarded becomes dangerous the second the puck starts going in. That’s the moment the market usually misses, and we’re right in it.

Ottawa’s 7-1 destruction of Washington is going to light up highlight reels and betting boards alike. Seven goals, 34 shots, complete domination — everything looks great on paper. It’s also the exact type of win that inflates perception. The Senators have allowed just five goals over their last three games after coughing up 30 in their first six, but those were against lightweights and a flat Capitals side.

We’re getting a live, proud team at an inflated price against an opponent priced like they’ve turned a corner when they really just beat up a tired group on the back end of a road swing. Ottawa’s surge is being oversold. Boston’s response is being undervalued.
