Chicago +167 over Ottawa

7:07 PM EST. OT included. The Blackhawks are not the story here, but they are coming into this game with a bit of momentum after two straight wins over Calgary and San Jose, with their 3-1 triumph over the Flames coming at home on Tuesday night. This game marks the start of a three-game road trip for the ‘Hawks, who likely can’t wait to get to the rink today to try and keep their momentum going. That said, it is the situational spot the Blackhawks find the Senators in tonight and the inflated price Ottawa is spotting that brings us to the table.

The Senators played last night in Buffalo and whacked the Sabres 6-2, but this quick turnaround is their second back-to-back in less than a week after doing the same in games versus New Jersey and Edmonton last Saturday and Sunday. That makes this the Sens’ fourth game in six days, fifth game in seven days, and their 10th game in 15 days. Oh, by the way, the Sens have had to travel after each and every one of those games and then some, as they've been on the move after every contest going back to their February 24 win over Vegas.

Since then, the Sens have traveled from Ottawa to Washington, Nashville, back to Ottawa, Philadelphia, out West to Anaheim, Los Angeles, and San Jose before coming home for one game versus the Penguins and then heading back out to Columbus, Long Island, and then back to Ottawa for their 7-2 spanking from Carolina Hurricanes, then over to Boston, back to Ottawa, out to New Jersey, back to Ottawa, over to Buffalo, and then back to Ottawa for this game with the Blackhawks tonight. There is no rest for the weary, as the Sens head for a Saturday night date with the Jets in Winnipeg. If Ottawa is able to get up for this one-off game at home against a weak Western Conference invader, so be it, but if there was a night for the Sens to try and catch their breath, this would be it.
