Montreal Canadiens vs Ottawa Senators Predictions, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/01/25

The Ottawa Senators and Montreal Canadiens renew their rivalry tonight for the first time this season. Ottawa has been a middle-of-the-pack team, led by a strong offence to make up for such poor goaltending. Just like last season, their power play is leading the way, operating at 29%. For this to have any chance of making the playoffs, they’ll need Linus Ullmark to step up. His 3.36 GAA and .862 SV% just isn’t going to cut it at this level.

For the Canadiens, it’s been a very strong start to the year. They are 8-3-0, including an impressive 3-1-0 on home ice. They are also one of the highest scoring teams in the league, something we haven’t been able to say in previous seasons. They are doing all this despite Samuel Montembeault’s struggles. He has a 3.82 GAA and .942 SV%. He and
Ullmark are getting the start for their respective teams, so this game could end up being a shootout. Both teams can score with the man advantage, but the Senators can’t keep penalties. The Canadiens have made some changes to their top unit, and they’ve exploded offensively. Sit back and get ready for a lot of goals.
