- The Golden Knights have conceded 18 goals in their last five matches.
- Vegas have killed just 67.7% of opposition power plays.
- Eichel has 19 points in 13 games, while Stützle has scored eight goals this season.
Ottawa Senators Form
Ottawa are 8-4-0 and arrive following a 7-4 victory over the Rangers on Saturday. Drake Batherson scored a hat trick, including two early goals that helped the Senators build a commanding lead.
That result followed a 6-2 defeat against San Jose, despite Ottawa outshooting the Sharks 43-28. Their attack continues to create opportunities, but defensive consistency remains a concern.
Ullmark's absence is particularly significant, having contributed seven of Ottawa's eight victories with a .945 save percentage. Stützle remains one of their most reliable attacking players, with eight goals and points in four consecutive games.
Vegas Golden Knights Form
Vegas are winless in their last three games, going 0-2-1, and their defensive struggles have become increasingly difficult to ignore.
The Golden Knights lost 2-1 in overtime against Columbus on Saturday after suffering a 6-2 defeat in St. Louis. Their penalty kill has been a major weakness, operating at just 67.7% this season.
Eichel continues to deliver offensively, collecting 19 points through 13 games. With Marner and Victor Olofsson unavailable, even more responsibility falls on Vegas' leading scorer.
Goaltending remains another concern. Adin Hill and Carter Hart have both posted save percentages below .900, leaving Vegas vulnerable despite averaging 3.62 goals per game.
Verdict
Both teams have enough attacking quality to exploit uncertain goaltending, making Over 6.5 goals the preferred selection. Jack Eichel anytime goalscorer and Tim Stützle 1+ point complete the card.
