SourceOttawa’s blue line gets a boost but remains shorthanded
Jake Sanderson is projected to return, giving Ottawa’s blue line a boost even as the unit remains shorthanded.
SourceWennberg is a question mark for San Jose
Alexander Wennberg is day to day with an upper-body injury after missing Tuesday’s game in Montreal; check the final lineup before puck drop.
SourceCelebrini helped fuel a road comeback
San Jose erased a two-goal third-period deficit and won 4–3 in overtime in Montreal, with Macklin Celebrini scoring twice and adding an assist; the Sharks allowed 34 shots. A podcast noted Celebrini had 11 points in seven games.
SourceStarting goalies are not confirmed
The latest supplied goalie listing marked Linus Ullmark probable for the Oct. 21 slate, but no supplied note confirms either starter for Thursday’s Sharks–Senators matchup.
SourcePick Ideas
Senators moneyline, but be price-sensitive
Ottawa is the home lean around -135 or better; the 58–59% market-implied win probability offers little margin at a shorter price.
Consider the under if the total reaches 6.5
If the total is 6.5, the under is worth a look at -115 or better because Ottawa’s listed 2–7 totals record points to games staying below market numbers.
Hold off on goalie props until starters are announced
Reassess saves or goals-against props once this matchup’s actual starters and prices are posted.
