Saturday’s matchup between the Ottawa Senators and New York Islanders gives bettors one of the cleaner late-season handicap spots on the NHL board. Ottawa is a slight road favorite at UBS Arena, and the broader market on the missing prices points to the Senators laying -1.5 at roughly +190 to +205, with the Islanders taking +1.5 in the -218 to -230 range.

The broader market also points to Edmonton -1.5 around +205, Los Angeles +1.5 around -245, and a total of 6.5 with the Over near -105 and the Under near -115. That combination suggests a competitive game with enough offensive respect to hang a 6.5, but also enough caution to keep the Under slightly shaded. This game matters for the standings

Saturday’s matchup between the New Jersey Devils and Detroit Red Wings gives bettors one of the more useful handicap spots on the NHL board because the market is offering a clear favorite without pushing the number into heavy territory. Detroit is priced at -145 on the moneyline at Little Caesars Arena, while New Jersey comes back at +123. On the puck line, the Devils are +1.5 at -211 and the Red Wings are -1.5 at +170.
