For a moneyline pick, I’m taking the Flames to pick up on a win over the Senators at home. With the moneyline sitting at -135, I’ll be locking in a bet on the Flames straight-up.

If you’re looking for my recommendation on the puck line, I suggest taking the Senators to cover. Even if the Flames manage to win outright, this game is expected to remain competitive, and the Senators should cover the puck line.

With an over/under line sitting at 6.5 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
