Columbus Blue Jackets vs Ottawa Senators Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/29/25

The Ottawa Senators will be hosting the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday night. The Senators will be catching the Blue Jackets on the second half of a back-to-back as they played Sunday night in Columbus. The Blue Jackets will likely be without their leading scorer, Zach Werenski, for a third consecutive game. His importance to this lineup is indescribable. The Senators are coming off a loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs and will be looking to bounce back as points are coming at a premium in a highly contested Atlantic Division. These teams have met once already this season and the Senators beat the Blue Jackets by a score of 6-3.

The Blue Jackets are only averaging 2.92 goals per game on the season and they will be without their leading point scorer for this game. Werenski has 11 more points than the next player on his team. Without him, they won’t be able to keep pace with the high scoring offense of the Senators that averages 3.27 goals per game on the year. Give me the home team in this one.
