This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the UNDER between the Sens/Canes.

This is the second game of a home and home set, with the Hurricanes taking the opener 5-2. Both teams have been playing to many higher-scoring affairs of late, but we believe the conditions are finally right for more of a defensive battle. Ottawa has lost four straight, but with a game at home tomorrow night against the high-flying Islanders, it's obviously not too hard to imagine the visitors getting caught looking ahead here. Carolina has now won two straight and with a tough game tomorrow night in New Jersey, the opener of a five-game road trip, clearly the home side can't take anything for granted. Note that Ottawa has seen the total go UNDER the number in 17 of 27 this year against clubs with losing records and in four of six after playing to three or more consecutive OVERs, while Carolina has seen the total go UNDER in 17 of 29 against clubs with losing records and in 13 of 22 after scoring four goals or more in its previous contest. Play the UNDER.
