New York is a large city, but not an important one. Ottawa is an important city, but not a large one. Today, their most prominent hockey teams (sorry, NYU) play one another. Winner gets one extra Tim Hortons.

Television

The Odds
OTT +120; NYR -140; o/u 5½ (o -125) [English translation: The Senators are roughly 44% likely to win and 56% likely to lose, the expected number of goals scored is roughly 5.95]
The Opponent
The Rangers are off to a 3-1 start, stacking up near the top of the Metropolitan Division. The expectation coming into the year was that they’d be solid, not great.
The Senators
Shane Pinto’s out, Nick Paul’s going to play center on a line with Connor Brown and Tim Stützle. Parker Kelly was in Stützle’s place on the third line yesterday at practice, with Victor Mete back in place of Uncle Delly in the defensive pairings.
A Saturday session. Hope your pants are ready.
