Oddsmakers aren’t expecting a whole lot of defense when the Blackhawks and Senators get together Tuesday in Ottawa. The Senators are a -120 favorite almost by default in this matchup of conference have-nots.
It could be said that there’s value – or lack thereof – on both teams here. Chicago’s 46 points have them in the basement of the Central while Ottawa’s 39 are saved from last place only by Detroit being so horrid (27 pts)

This will be the first meeting of the 2019/20 campaign between the two teams but Chicago has had great success over the last couple years, winning five straight in the series.
Chicago Blackhawks
The Blackhawks are kind of a strange underdog on Tuesday considering the Senators have dropped 7 games in a row. The public bettors should be loving Chicago at +100, but that’s not necessarily a good thing.
Chicago only has two wins in 5 games since the calendar turned to 2020. Those wins aren’t anything to write home about either as both came against last place teams in the Red Wings (CHI -205) and Ducks (CHI -123).
The O/U for Tuesday’s tilt is 6.5 and the Hawks have the scoring to keep up their end of the bargain in that regard. Patrick Kane leads the way with 9 points in his last 5 games.
Where things get a little hairy for Chicago is their goaltending – if Corey Crawford gets the start as expected. Crawford only has one game with a save % greater than .915 in his last 7 appearances.
Ottawa Senators
Can Ottawa find some offense to take advantage if Crawford struggles? The Senators have been held to 3 goals or less in 8 straight games. Ottawa also ranks last in the league in the power play.
The Senators have scored just 4 goals total in their last 3 games but they have at least gone in OT the last two.
Decent offenses have had a field day against Ottawa’s defense lately too. Pittsurgh scored 5, Florida 6, Tampa Bay 5, and Washington 6 just in the last two weeks. Chicago has scored 4+ in 4 of the last 6.
Marcus Hogberg is the early probable starter in net for Ottawa. He pulled the rare two-games-in-two nights over the weekend with both going into OT. The 4 total goals allowed in 53 shots isn’t bad considering then. Ottawa has had the last 2 nights off for recuperation as well.
NHL Betting Trends:
- Blackhawks are 4-0 last 4 vs. a team with a losing record
- Blackhawks are 4-1 last 5 road games
- Blackhawks are 2-8 last 10 Tuesday games
- Senators are 0-4 last 4 home games
- Blackhawks are 16-5 last 21 head to head meetings
- Blackhawks are 4-1 last 5 in Ottawa
Free Chicago Blackhawks vs. Ottawa Senators NHL Prediction:
Ottawa has dropped 7 in a row, going into OT in a couple of those games but overall not putting up much of a fight. The Senators have a chance with Crawford in net instead of the streaking Robin Lehner, but will it be enough?
Chicago has matched up well in this series, winners of 5 in a row over Ottawa. The ‘Hawks have the value as the ‘dogs in this one.
