Analysis
Ottawa's superior home form and rest advantage drive this prediction. The Senators have been dominant at Royal Rink recently, while New Jersey's road defensive struggles create puck line analysis opportunities. Both teams enter with equal rest, eliminating schedule factors, but Ottawa's home ice advantage and recent offensive explosion make them the logical choice. The Devils' 3.12 goals against average on the road suggests vulnerability against Ottawa's improving attack.
