Ottawa @ New York picks

The Senators have won consecutive games, and backup goalie Leevi Merilainen has been up to the task when called upon with a rock-solid .913 save percentage, 2.34 GAA and 1.83 goals saved above average across his six appearances. Ottawa also has the superior special-teams and five-on-five possession numbers across the board, and the Isles have a banged-up blue line with multiple injured defensemen and are being propped up by an unsustainably high .923 team save percentage at 5-on-5.
