Atlanta Hawks at Ottawa Senators (3 PM ET)
Atlanta has been outscored 12-4 during a three-game losing streak, surrendering 11 power-play goals in the past five contests. EDGE: SENATORS

Ottawa goaltender Martin Gerber has struggled against Atlanta, going 2-4-0 with a 3.59 goals-against average in eight games. EDGE: THRASHERS
The UNDER is 9-1 in the Senators' last 10 games overall.
Boston Bruins at Buffalo Sabres (7 PM ET)
Buffalo has lost some of its cushion in the East with a 6-7-1 record in January but has bounced back to win five of six this month. EDGE: SABRES
The Bruins are 5-0-1 against the Bruins this season, outscoring them 29-14 and going 12-1-1 in the series over the past two seasons. BIG EDGE: SABRES
