The first-place Colorado Avalanche roll into the Canadian Tire Centre to face the Ottawa Senators tonight, and the Sens need to string wins together in a hurry to punch a postseason ticket.
As a result of Colorado's high-powered offense, my Avalanche vs. Senators predictions expect Ottawa netminder James Reimer to stay busy between the pipes.

Avalanche vs Senators prediction
Avalanche vs Senators best bet: James Reimer Over 25.5 saves (-105)
Ottawa Senators goaltender James Reimer is set for a high-volume evening on home ice.
The Colorado Avalanche lead the league in shots per game (34.9) and rank second in Corsi For percentage at five-on-five, so I’m anticipating Reimer seeing plenty of action tonight.
Reimer posted a .895 save percentage across 92 games over the previous three years, and replicating that number tonight positions him to cash this Over.
After all, the Avs have recorded at least 30 shots in nine consecutive games.
