The Ottawa Senators head west to face the reeling Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place on Tuesday, March 3.

My top Senators vs. Oilers predictions and NHL picks expect Ottawa goalie Linus Ullmark to face plenty of shots and pile up saves against Edmonton tonight.

Senators vs Oilers prediction

Senators vs Oilers best bet: Linus Ullmark Over 24.5 saves (-130)

Ottawa Senators No. 1 Linus Ullmark is 3-0-1 with a .919 save percentage and 2.47 goals saved above expected since returning from leave, and I’m expecting him to face oodles of rubber against the Edmonton Oilers.

The Oil have averaged 32.9 shots across their past 15 games, and Edmonton also averages 31.2 shots per home game this season.

Additionally, Edmonton is reeling along a 1-5 stretch and hanging onto the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference, so I expect the Oilers to be shot out of a cannon tonight.

The Over has hit in 16 of the Oilers' past 25 home games (+8.20 Units / 28% ROI), and Edmonton has surrendered a healthy 28 goals during the highlighted 1-5 skid. On the opposite bench, the Sens have scored 30 times during their own 6-1-1 run.

Turning to Ottawa winger Drake Batherson, he’s marked the scoresheet in five of his past seven games to climb to a rock-solid 3.08 points per 60 minutes for the year and remains in a go-to offensive role on the top line and No. 1 power-play unit.

Neil takes a numbers-based approach to his handicapping and complements his in-depth statistical analysis with a keen eye on the markets to provide the best available odds. He loves to lean on his rolodex of idioms to offset his inner nerd. When it comes to wagering, he throws down on anything that catches his eye at bet365, Betway and BetVictor. He also keeps a close eye on CoolBet because the polar bear brand often has outlier NHL and NFL moneyline prices.

Neil graduated with honors from St. Thomas University in 2007 before completing his BEd at Acadia University in 2010. After teaching a myriad of courses and subjects, he found a groove delivering fun lessons to exceptional learners in non-traditional classroom environments. If his decade-plus teaching run taught him anything about sports betting, it’s to stay the course and use the summer – or offseason – to refresh and prepare to be better in the year to come.
