The 2026-27 season is only 3 games old for the Ottawa Senators, so this section reads 2025-26 until they reach 10. The table above has both seasons.
The Ottawa Senators sat in the middle of the NHL by bet share in 2025-26: #12 of 32, with 54.7% of moneyline tickets on average and the public side (60%+ of bets) in 40 of 79 games.
Their share of the money ran 3 points below their share of the tickets (51.7%), so the bigger bets were a little less keen on them than the crowd. As the public side they went 24-16, a record that mostly reflects how often they were favored.
None of this is a pick. Across the league, neither backing nor fading the public side on its own has beaten NHL prices over the last two seasons. See tonight's NHL splits →
