Capitals VS Senators Best Bets


Moneyline/Puckline Pick: Washington Capitals (ML/+1.5)

Looking to make it back-to-back wins over Canadian hockey clubs, back the underdog Capitals to pull off the road win against the Ottawa Senators this evening.

After pulling off the comeback win against the Calgary Flames their last time out, the Capitals once again look like they’ll be a tough team to play against night-in and night-out. Possessing a deep lineup full of grizzled veterans, the Caps excel at using their physicality to wear down their opposition over the course of a matchup.

Facing a young, up-and-coming squad in the Senators, look for the Capitals to outwork the Sens, forcing them into uncomfortable situations on the ice, and moving the puck with clean smart passes as they upset the favoured home team.

Back the Capitals on the moneyline as they defeat the Senators on the road, earning themselves back-to-back wins for the first time this season, as well as earning you a hefty boost to your bankroll with this underdog pick.

Over/Under Pick: Over 6.5 Goals

Set to be a fast-paced tilt, look for the lamp to light red repeatedly this evening as the Capitals VS Senators results in Over 6.5 goals scored.

With both sides sporting talented rosters chock-full of proven goal-scorers, there’s sure to be no shortage of genos ripped in tonight’s duel. While the Caps have looked sluggish to start the season offensively, expect to see them ramp up their intensity level this evening as they look to go toe-to-toe with a Sens team that has scored 13 goals in three games played this season.

Last season when these two teams met goals were scored at a frenzied pace, with two of their three head-to-head contests resulting in Over 6.5 goals-scored.

Hammer the Over on the Capitals VS Senators this evening and watch as the scoreboard steadily rises alongside your account balance with this winning goal total wager.

Capitals VS Senators Best Player Prop Bets


John Carlson Anytime Goal Scorer (+425)

He may not be known for his goal-scoring prowess, but you can expect to see Capitals defenceman John Carlson to leave his mark on tonight’s game as an anytime goal-scorer against the Senators.

After providing the bulk of offensive production for his team to start their 2023-24 campaign, Carlson has ramped up his offensive output this year. Not shying away from his chance to get pucks on net, Carlson is set to find the back of the net as he uses his booming slap shot to beat the weak goaltending of the Sens.

Bank on Carlson as an anytime goal scorer in tonight’s matchup and net yourself a sizeable payday with this +425 NHL player prop bet.

Tim Stutzle Over 3.5 Shots on Goal (+135)

A rising star in the NHL, expect to see an active evening for Senators left wing Tim Stutzle, as he lets the puck fly regularly against the Capitals.

Continuing his rapid development as a cornerstone piece in the Senators current rebuild, Stutzle has been exceptional at generating dangerous scoring chances whenever he’s on the ice.

Hot off the heels of an eight-shot performance against the Tampa Bay Lightning, look for Stutzle to carve his way through the defence of the Caps, putting ample shots on goal as he notches you a plus-money win on your NHL bet slips this evening.
