The total is being dealt mostly at 6.5, with mixed pricing around the over and under depending on the book. That board suggests Ottawa is the better side, but also that a one-goal game is more likely than a comfortable road win. There is real urgency here too. Ottawa enters Saturday holding the second wild-card spot in the
