Columbus heads to the Canadian Tire Centre to face Ottawa on Monday night at 7:00 PM on ESPN+. The Blue Jackets are 16-15-6 and still trying to find traction inside the division, while the Senators are 18-14-5 and looking to turn strong offensive stretches into more consistent results. The market is leaning hard toward Ottawa at -204 with Columbus +166. That is a meaningful favorite tag for a team that has shown volatility, so the handicap starts with who has the special teams edge, what the goalie situation looks like, and whether Columbus can turn shot volume into real finishing. Ottawa is priced as the clear home favorite, and that number can shift if goalie news changes the expected scoring

The Rangers head to Lenovo Center for a Monday night road test against Carolina at 7:00 PM on ESPN+. New York comes in 19-17-4 and sitting outside the East’s top tier, while the Hurricanes are 23-11-3 and playing like a true conference leader. This price is telling you Carolina has the better 5v5 engine and the deeper margin for error, but New York’s profile travels better than most underdogs because they can win ugly. If this game stays low-event, the dog is live. If Carolina controls pace and shot share, the favorite usually gets there. Carolina is the clear favorite, and the key is whether the market keeps pushing toward the Canes once goalie news and final lineups are set.

Edmonton heads to Canada Life Centre to face Winnipeg on Monday night at 7:30 PM on ESPN+. The Oilers are 19-14-6 and sitting third in the Pacific, while the Jets are 15-18-4 and trying to stabilize in the Central. The records matter, but the matchup is really about style and special teams. Edmonton can turn any game into a power play clinic, and Winnipeg has to be disciplined to keep this from turning into a math problem. The market has Edmonton as a small road favorite at -123 with Winnipeg +104. That is a fair range for a better team on the road, but the price is also acknowledging home ice and the fact that Winnipeg can still score enough

Buffalo heads to the Enterprise Center to face St. Louis on Monday night at 8:00 PM on ESPN+. The Sabres are 19-14-4 and playing some of their best hockey of the season, while the Blues are 15-16-8 and still searching for consistent traction in the Central. The market is basically a pick-em with Buffalo -111 and St. Louis -107, which tells you the book sees two teams in a similar tier once you account for venue and current form. In spots like this, the best edges usually come from roster availability, special teams efficiency, and whether the game script stays structured or breaks into a back-and-forth. This line is tight enough that any late injury or goalie confirmation can flip
