Meanwhile, the Senators have also been competitive, winning three of their last five games, including a 3-1 win over the Utah Hockey Club.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Alex Ovechkin Over 0.5 Goals

Ovechkin remains a key offensive weapon for the Capitals. With his ability to score in crucial moments and Ottawa's defensive vulnerabilities, betting on Ovechkin to score is a strong play.

2. Brady Tkachuk Over 3.5 Shots on Goal

Tkachuk is a high-volume shooter and a focal point of Ottawa's offense. With the Senators likely to rely on him heavily, he should surpass this shots-on-goal line.
