Ottawa Senators vs Columbus Blue Jackets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Tuesday, 01/20/26

The Ottawa Senators and Columbus Blue Jackets are set to meet for the 3rd and final time this season on Tuesday night. Ottawa took the first meeting by a score of 6-3 on December 11, while Columbus took the 2nd meeting 4-1 on December 29. Heading into the rubber match, the edge goes to the home team. The Blue Jackets enter this matchup riding a 4-game win streak, which is tied for their longest streak of the season thus far. Columbus has been scoring goals at a high clip during the streak, averaging 4.0 goals per game over its last 4 games. The Senators are allowing 3.40 goals per game this season, which ranks 29th in the NHL. Furthermore, Ottawa’s team save percentage of .870 is among the worst in the league.

The Senators have also struggled on the penalty kill, owning a league-worst kill percentage of 71.5%. The Columbus power play is quarterbacked by superstar defenseman Zach Werenski, who is up to 52 points on 18 goals and 34 assists in 44 games this season. Look for Werenski to lead a strong offensive effort from the Blue Jackets against a Senators team that has struggled to keep the puck out of their own net. It’s also worth mentioning that the Blue Jackets haven’t played since Saturday, which gives them an extra day of rest heading into this matchup. Back the Blue Jackets on Tuesday.
