Bet: Artemi Panarin anytime goal (+170), Senators Rangers Under 5.5 goals (+100), Rangers ML (-125)

The Blueshirts have started to pick things up since the calendar turned to 2025 with New York recording a 6-1-3 record and totaling 15 points, which is tied for the most in the league during that span.

Ottawa has also started playing at an elite level with their defence carrying the load with a 5-3-2 record, the sixth-best goals against average at 2.40 but also the fifth-worst goals per game average at 2.10 over their last ten games.

The Rangers recent run of success has been headlined by their offence which has been carried by superstar winger Artemi Panarin, who has three goals and six assists for nine points in his last ten games.

The 33-year-old veteran has abused the Sens in the past with goals in four straight matchups as well as points in 12 of their last 14 matchups. He's totalled eight goals and 13 points for 21 points over that 14-game stretch and with his recent hot streak makes him a solid option to find the back of the net on Tuesday.

Despite Panarin likely scoring, we expect this game to be low-scoring as the Senators have struggled on offence as of late and have done so all season on the road with a 2.52 goals per road game average which lands them bottom seven in the NHL.

This should help the Rangers stay hot and edge out another win with Igor Shesterkin playing a big role. The New York netminder has a 4-1-1 record, a 1.82 goals against average of 1.82 and a .942 save percentage in six career starts versus Ottawa.
