Senators at Golden Knights projected goalies
Jonas Johansson (1-0-0, 4.00 GAA, .857 SV%) vs. Adin Hill (4-1-0, 2.95 GAA, .881 SV%)
Johansson is confirmed to start in the crease for the visitors, as Linus Ullmark is nursing a lower-body injury and unavailable. He'll split the goaltending duties with backup Samuel Ersson until Ullmark is healthy enough to return. He allowed 4 goals on 28 shots in a win against the Rangers last time out.
Hill has won 4 of his 5 starts this season, but he took it on the chin last time out, giving up 6 goals on 31 shots in a 6-2 loss at the St. Louis Blues Thursday. However, at home, he has won both of his previous starts, giving up just 5 goals on 48 shots.
Senators at Golden Knights picks and predictions
Prediction
Golden Knights 5, Senators 2
Moneyline
The GOLDEN KNIGHTS (-154) are a solid play as moderate favorites on home ice, as Johansson was very giving last time out. The goaltending woes of the Senators will hold them back a bit, and, frankly, it's surprising that VGK isn't favored by a lot more here.
Puck line/Against the spread
The GOLDEN KNIGHTS -1.5 (+142) are a value play on home ice, if you're a little more adventurous.
Yes, VGK had a power outage in Columbus, of all places, but it is 4-1-0 in the past 5 games at home, while lighting the lamp 20 times in the span, which is 4.0 GPG. Look for Vegas to be solid in front of the home fans.
Over/Under
OVER 6.5 (-118) is the lean, but roll with a half-unit play at best.
The Golden Knights scored just once last time out, but the Over is 5-1 across the past 6 games, and, again, they've averaged 4.0 GPG in the past 5 home contests.
Conversely, Ottawa has rung up 14 goals in the past 3 games, and it has yielded 11 goals in the same span, cashing the Over in 3 consecutive outings.
