Scouting report

Sprinkle's read:OTT +1.5 puck line★★★★

A dog that keeps it close

Ottawa has stayed within a goal in three of their last five, and the puck line pays you for a one-goal loss.

The number

At +1.5 a regulation loss by one still cashes; only a two-goal defeat, empty-netter included, beats it.

The decider

Ersson is the weaker net by a wide margin right now — stopping about nine of ten, a touch under his baseline — so Ottawa's side of the scoreboard is the one likely to move.

The context

These two have been playing different games: Buffalo's games are ordinary, Ottawa's are track meets. This bet is really a question of which pattern holds. Ottawa is putting 26.4 shots a game on net and finishing 12.7% of them.

Situational

Ottawa is five games into a road trip — a notch toward the under.

What breaks this

Their last meeting went at a 7-goal pace. Ersson has been the weak link; another soft night sinks it.
