NHL Odds: Senators vs. Capitals Pick (Monday, February 26)

NHL Odds: Senators vs. Capitals 

*NHL odds as of Monday morning

While I am an experienced sports bettor, I personally don’t follow hockey very closely these days.

As a kid growing up in New Jersey, I was a huge New York Rangers fan. But now, I’m about as casual of a fan as one can be.

This ripples down to NHL betting as well. Do I go out of my way to break down the NHL odds board each day? No.

But are there times, especially this portion of the sports calendar, where I begin to dabble in hockey? Absolutely!

So what does one do when they don’t necessarily follow a given sport on a daily basis, but still want to find an edge making NHL picks?

We turn to the Action Network’s NHL PRO Report — that’s what we do.

NHL Pick: Senators vs. Capitals 

There are just four games on Monday’s NHL odds board, three of which offer no betting value as of the time of writing.

Senators vs. Capitals, on the other hand, is the one that’s drawing market-moving action from professional bettors.

Here are the details.

Ottawa opened at -104 against Washington at FanDuel, though wiseguys have been all over the Senators ever since.

Action Labs’ Bet Signals are reporting that sharps have steamed Ottawa four times thus far, explaining why this moneyline has flipped to Sens -132 at FanDuel and even out to -135 at DraftKings and BetMGM.

Steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the market that is often the result of bettors with the resources and respect to move odds getting down on the same side of the same game at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.

In addition, one of the Action Network’s top NHL bettors is also backing the Sens tonight, aligning our experts with the sharps.
