The Senators mini win streak has them covering the spread now three games in a row and improving to 19-17 ATS. Their last five games have been low scoring with the Under going 4-1.

Carolina Hurricanes

Sebastian Aho’s second goal of the game was the overtime winner, putting the Hurricanes back in the win column Tuesday night in Vegas. They blew their 3-1 lead late in the third, but rallied back to win it 4-3 in the extra frame. Andrei Svechnikov had a pair of assists, while goalie Frederik Andersen made 26 saves picking up his 22nd win of the season.

Carolina sits only a point behind the Pittsburgh Penguins for third place in the Metropolitan Division with a couple games in hand. The Canes will head back to Carolina to host the Devils on Saturday night.

Ottawa Senators

32-year-old Tyler Ennis’ second career hat trick powered the Senators to a massive 5-0 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday. Goalie Matt Murray stopped all 33 shots on route to his 14th career shutout.

The victory came at the cost of forward Drake Batherson, who left the game after taking a dangerous hit from Sabres goalie Aaron Dell. Dell has since received a three game suspension, while Batherson is likely out long term. Batherson leads the team with 34 points in only 31 games.

Ottawa has won back-to-back games and is now riding a three game point streak as they continue their home stand until the end of the month.
