The Islanders’ defense gave up the first two goals of the game, but after closing the gap to 3-2, they allowed two more in the 3rd period, including an empty-netter. Ilya Sorokin made 35 saves with an 89.7% save percentage. Defensively, the Islanders had 12 takeaways and 17 hits.

  • The Islanders have posted a 2-1 record in their previous three games. However, they have only gone 1-2 vs. the puck line over this stretch. Their over-under record in these three games was 3-0.
  • Across New York’s last ten regular season games, their record sits at 4-6. The team’s record vs the puck line was just 2-8, in addition to an over-under mark of 6-4.

The Senators Can Win If…

With a 3-0 win over the Kraken, the Senators evened their record at 6-6-0. Ottawa entered the game as -1.5 goal favorites and covered the puck line. The total was set at 6.5 goals, but the combined 3 goals fell well short of that mark.

Each of Ottawa’s three goals came from different players. Adam Gaudette opened the scoring at 14:32 in the first period. Brady Tkachuk added a goal in the second, and Tim Stützle sealed the win with an empty-netter in the third.

Ottawa’s offense was held to 23 shots on goal in their 3-0 win over Seattle. Tim Stützle netted his 6th goal of the season on an empty net, while Brady Tkachuk and Adam Gaudette each scored their 7th goals. Gaudette opened the scoring at 14:32 in the first period.

Stützle also picked up his 10th assist on Tkachuk’s second-period goal. Michael Amadio added his 2nd assist on Stützle’s empty-netter, which came at 2:14 in the third period.

On the defensive side, the Senators will look to build on a strong performance from their previous game, where they didn’t allow a single goal. Anton Forsberg made 22 saves with a 100% save percentage, and the defense added 2 takeaways and 25 hits.

  • Ottawa has put together a record of 1-2 in their last three games (regular season). This also includes going 2-1 ATS, and posting an over-under record of 0-2-1.
  • Across Ottawa’s last ten regular season games, their record sits at 5-5. Their record against the puck line in this stretch is 6-4 to go along with an over-under mark of 5-4-1.

The Lean

When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Senators to come out with a win against the Islanders while playing at home. Considering the moneyline odds at -146, I’m placing my bet on the Senators to win outright.

For my recommended choice in the puck line, I’m leaning towards the Islanders to cover. Even if the Senators secure a straight-up win, this game is expected to be tightly contested, and the Islanders should cover the puck line.

With an over/under line sitting at 6 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.

Islanders Aim to Keep Momentum Rolling, Face Senators in Ottawa

The New York Islanders and Ottawa Senators meet Thursday in a clash of Eastern Conference teams coming off very different performances on Tuesday night. The Islanders, fueled by a resilient third-period comeback, edged the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-3 in a shootout, while the Senators suffered a deflating 5-1 defeat to the Buffalo Sabres after a rough final period.

Islanders Show Resilience with Late Rally

The Islanders looked to be on the brink of another tough loss when the Penguins extended their lead to 3-1 in the third period. But New York didn’t back down. Goals by Simon Holmstrom and Jean-Gabriel Pageau tied the game within five minutes, sending it to overtime, where the Islanders eventually prevailed in the shootout with a game-winning tally by Bo Horvat.

“We’ve done enough to be in games and have them go either way,” said Islanders forward Kyle Palmieri, who notched a goal and an assist. “Tonight was an opportunity for us to come from behind and do it in a fashion where we felt like we earned the two points.”

This comeback victory marked the Islanders’ second win in their last six games, a much-needed boost as they play without key contributors like Mathew Barzal and Anthony Duclair. The team’s aggressive play in the Penguins’ zone during the final period and strong special teams in overtime showcased their ability to rally under pressure.

Senators’ Inconsistency on Full Display in Loss to Sabres

For Ottawa, Tuesday’s game against Buffalo was another reminder of their season’s inconsistency. Despite generating pressure early and keeping pace with Buffalo in shots through the first two periods, the Senators couldn’t maintain control. Ridly Greig’s second-period goal brought them within one, but Buffalo’s Bowen Byram and Tage Thompson scored 16 seconds apart early in the third, breaking the game open. The Senators also struggled on the power play, going 0-for-2 despite boasting one of the league’s top power-play percentages.

“We lost a special team battle,” said Senators coach Travis Green. “Sometimes you get what you deserve, and we got it. We got what we deserved tonight.”

The loss dropped Ottawa to a dismal 1-5-0 record on the road, with only the Vegas Golden Knights having fewer road points this season. The Senators, however, have been strong at home with a 5-1-0 record and will look to tap into that home-ice advantage as they attempt to snap their current skid.

Matchup Outlook and Key Players

The Islanders’ recent victory highlights the depth of their roster. Despite missing star players, New York has continued to play competitive games, losing five of their contests by just two goals or fewer. Their gritty style was evident against the Penguins, and they’ll need a similar effort to overcome the Senators on Thursday.

For Ottawa, the game plan will hinge on consistency and avoiding the late-game collapses that have plagued them. With talented scorers and a solid power-play unit, the Senators have the tools to compete, but lapses in concentration have often led to losses. Ottawa’s home record is among the best in the league, giving them confidence as they return to familiar ice.

Expect a tight contest as both teams look to establish momentum. For the Islanders, another win would solidify the confidence gained from Tuesday’s comeback, while the Senators aim to get back on track and secure a valuable home win against a tough opponent.
