For the Senators, it was an embarrassing 5-1 loss the brutal Leafs and for the Hawks, it was a loss to a Western Conference foe. It should be interesting to see which struggling team emerges.<\/p>\n<p>The Ottawa Senators have lost three straight games and the last five of seven. Who knew that Jason Spezza would be that valuable! Since Spezza went down the Senators have been in a tailspin. They are 29<sup>th<\/sup> in the NHL in scoring with just 2.3 goals per game. <iframe allowtransparency='true' src='http:\/\/ff.connextra.com\/Bodog\/selector\/client?client=Bodog&#038;placement=Ext_RS_Sports_250x250&#038;cxt_aff_id=151627&#038;tclk=http:\/\/www.bodog.eu\/welcome\/151627\/' class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #FFFFFF;\" width='250' height='250' scrolling='no' frameborder='0' style='border-width:0'><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Senators defense isn\u2019t exactly lighting the world on fire either. They are 24<sup>th<\/sup> in the league and they give up an average of 3.0 goals per game. Brian Elliot has been bad between the pipes for the Sens and is 0-1-1 in his last two games with a 5.39 goals against average.<\/p>\n<p>The Chicago Blackhawks are a team waiting to break out but just can\u2019t seem to be getting over the hump. Finally healthy, hopes were that all the excuses would be put to rest but is just hasn\u2019t happened. The fact is that is the playoffs started today, their 10<sup>th<\/sup> place standing in the West would keep them out of the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick Kane is in a slump offensively and so is Marion Hossa. Duncan Keith hasn\u2019t recorded a point in his last five games. Still, the offense is 7<sup>th<\/sup> in the NHL.<br \/>\nCorry Crawford should start in goal on Friday. He is 1-1 -0 in his last three games with a 3.05 goals against average but it\u2019s better than Marty Turco!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Betting Prediction:<\/strong> Maybe the Hawks should just resign themselves to being a good \u201cB Level Team\u201d. They are certainly not in the caliber of Vancouver, Detroit, and Pittsburgh etc. But a good B Team is good enough to beat a \u201cMiddle of the Road C Team\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trends<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>Under is 13-3 in OTT last 16 vs. Central.<br \/>\nOTT are 3-12 in their last 15 Fri. games.<br \/>\nUnder is 6-2 in OTT last 8 vs. Western Conference.<br \/>\nOver is 16-5 in CHI last 21 vs. Eastern Conference.<br \/>\nCHI are 61-30 in their last 91 home games.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pick:<\/strong> Chicago Blackhawks -200<br \/>\n<strong><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/record.bettingpartners.com\/_TcMlrmSOeQxhg6WO2I1rgWNd7ZgqdRLk\/1\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT BODOG.COM\u2019S NHL HOCKEY BETTING LINES FOR TONIGHTS MATCHUPS!!!!<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Its NHL betting time once again.
