T.M. Selection: Oilers/Senators UNDER.

I am on the under in the Edmonton Oilers vs Ottawa Senators game on Monday. The Oilers have been looking a lot better in their games lately winning 4 in a row and they have been winning more games with a good defensive effort lately. They have not given up more than 2 goals in their previous 3 games and I think they will keep that up in this game, shutting the door on the Senators from scoring here. They just scored 7 goals in their most recent game but that was a win against the Canadiens who are the worst team in the league now and I think they will have more trouble scoring in this game since the Senators have been playing good defense lately and have looked a lot better on their home ice this year. The Senators have seen 5 goals or less total in 5 games in a row and that has also held true for their previous 5 home games in a row. They haven't given up more than 3 goals in 5 games in a row but they have only scored more than 2 goals in 1 of those games. The Senators are also missing a ton of players here and some key players too so i think they will continue to play hard on defense and try to win low scoring games with a lot of their offensive power out injured. I don't think the Sens will be able to score a lot on the Oilers in this game since the Oilers have looked a lot better lately and have been better on defense in those games. I also think the Sens have been good on defense though and the Oilers haven't really been their greatest over the last few weeks so I expect the Sens to keep them at bay here and keep this a low scoring game to give themselves a chance. I like the under in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Oilers.
