I’m flying into Chicago tomorrow. Keep missing these guys by a day. HATE IT. Anyway, gonna have to line up a MilkTime recording trip with a Sens game later this winter, which basically means: Boston, you might see me in April.
Whom
Senators vs. Chicago
When
8:00 PM Ottawa Time (EDT)
Television
ESPN+
The Odds
CHI -135; OTT +115; o/u 6 (o -115) [English translation: The Senators are only something like 45% likely to win; the expected number of goals scored is something like 6.07]
The Opponent
Chicago is winless on the year, with the fallout from the coverup of Kyle Beach’s sexual assault dominating headlines surrounding the team. Real disaster right now. Sens better win.
Chicago’s losing by an average of more than two goals per game, having taken just two teams (Leafs, Islanders) to overtime. Thanks to the Coyotes, they aren’t last in the Central, but it’s close.
The Senators are an underdog against this team.
The Senators
Matt Murray is back in goal. Uncle Delly’s expected to sit.
