Ottawa Senators - Carolina Hurricanes - NHL

Wager: $222. We turn our focus to the NHL: Carolina Hurricanes (8-7-4) and Ottawa Senators (12-7-1) will meet face to face tonight:  The game will start at 7:00 p.m. EST, at the 'Canadian Tire Center', Ottawa, aired on CITY, FS-CR, NHL.TV.  Defenseman Erik Karlsson will play his 500th NHL game for Ottawa against Carolina.  The Hurricanes had their 5-game winning streak snapped with a 2-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday. Carolina have 115 more shot attempts than they have allowed. Hurricanes scratched Andrej Nestrasil, Klas Dahlbeck; Injured: Bryan Bickell (multiple sclerosis), Eddie Lack (concussion). Carolina is 10th in "Goals Against" and 1st in "Penalty Kill %" categories this season, showing a perfect defense.  Senators have won 2 in a row. Ottawa scratched Fredrik Claesson for the game; Injured: Clarke MacArthur (concussion). They are 8th in "Goals Against" and 8th in "Penalty Kill %" categories. The official, basic Las Vegas game line for O/U is (5.0 Goals), so 'Las Vegas is expecting' a low scoring game.  With that said, I pick the "Alternative Total 2-Way" option @ BET365 - Under 6.5 Goals @ 1.35 / (-285).  In 2-Way markets Push rules apply. [Unless the amount to bet is specified, as is in this game, our predictions are generally made for a $100 wager.]
