will be looking for their first home victory over Ottawa in five years when they host the Senators on Saturday as -230 favourites on the NHL odds at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com.
Edmonton last topped Ottawa on home ice in March 2014 and has been outgunned by a 14-5 margin during the four-game home slide against the Sens ahead of Saturday’s matchup at Rogers Place. The Oilers topped Ottawa in their past two meetings in nation’s capital including a 4-2 victory as -140 road chalk on Feb. 28. Edmonton has also enjoyed success in recent home contests, paying out on +115 odds with Thursday’s decisive 4-1 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets to improve to 5-2-0 in its past seven on home ice.
It has been a poor swing through Western Canada for the Senators, who visit Edmonton as +190 underdogs after suffering a 5-1 defeat in Calgary as +375 underdogs on Thursday night. The loss to the Flames came on the heels of a 7-4 defeat in Vancouver as a +165 wager on Wednesday, which halted Ottawa’s first two-game win streak since early February, and dumped the basement-dwelling Senators to 1-8-1 in their past 10 road dates.
