Edmonton Oilers vs Ottawa Senators Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Edmonton Oilers
The Oilers have been underwhelming in recent weeks, despite having an enviable collection of individual talent. They’ve lost two of their three games since the league resumed following the Olympic break and suffered a 5-4 loss to the San Jose Sharks on Saturday after firing eight goals past the Los Angeles Kings on Friday.
In their most recent outing, the Senators secured a 5-2 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday.

However, that result extended their run of inconsistent performances. Ottawa have traded wins and losses over their last five encounters (W3, L1, OT1), but with six wins over their last 10 (L3, OT1), the team have proven to be competitive.
That said, the Senators’ defensive problems are just too big to ignore, particularly against one of the best attacks in the NHL. Given that both sides are better offensively than defensively, the one with more firepower should come out on top. On home ice, it’s difficult to bet against Edmonton.
Edmonton Oilers vs Ottawa Senators Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Connor McDavid over 1.5 points
McDavid has made a habit of terrorising opposing defences, and that tendency should continue against a Senators team that rank 23rd in goals allowed per game (3.19) this season.
After all, there’s a reason why he currently leads the NHL in scoring with a whopping 103 points, edging Nathan MacKinnon (97) and Nikita Kucherov (95) in the race for the Art Ross Trophy.

McDavid has posted two or more points in each of his last three appearances and is coming off a three-assist performance in the 5-4 loss to the Sharks.
The star playmaker is on a four-game point streak and has notched 33 points (11 goals, 22 assists) in only 20 outings since the start of January.
Edmonton Oilers vs Ottawa Senators Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Oilers -1.5 + Over 5.5 goals + Leon Draisaitl over 0.5 assist
The Oilers are the better side by a wide margin, and not only should they find a way to win, but to do so by multiple goals. After all, Edmonton have won 15 of their 29 encounters at home this season (W15, L10, OT4), while the Senators have lost 15 of their 30 away contests (W15, L12, OT3).
This matchup should also hit the over in the goals market, as these two teams are far better offensively than defensively. Both rank in the top 12 in goals scored per game this season, with Edmonton ranking third (3.52) and Ottawa 11th (3.29).

Both are below average defensively, with the Oilers sitting 26th in goals allowed (3.33) and the Senators 23rd (3.19).
Last but not least, we’re banking on Draisaitl to record at least one assist. The star playmaker is fourth in the NHL in points (85) and tied for fourth in assists (54). He should have plenty of opportunities to get on the scoresheet against a below-average defensive unit.
Edmonton Oilers vs Ottawa Senators Team News
Edmonton Oilers Team News
The Oilers are close to full strength, with all their star players ready to go, including the elite forward duo of McDavid and Draisaitl, who should be in charge of carrying the offence once again.
The lone absence will be Mattias Janmark, who is sidelined with an undisclosed injury and won’t be back until mid-March at the earliest, though no firm return date has been set. The rest of the squad is fully available.
Ottawa Senators Team News
The Senators will wait to make a final call on Nikolas Matinpalo, as the defenceman is day-to-day due to an undisclosed injury and has a shot at being available for this matchup on Tuesday.
The same can’t be said about David Perron, however, as the winger remains out due to a groin injury that will keep him sidelined until mid-March in the best-case scenario. The rest of the roster is fit and fully available to suit up.
