Ottawa Senators vs New York Islanders Prediction & Picks, October 15, 2026

The Ottawa Senators and New York Islanders are set to face off at the Canadian Tire Centre, and both teams have shown they can score recently. The Senators have won five of their last ten games, while the Islanders have taken four wins in that same stretch. Given their current forms, it seems likely both teams will find the back of the net multiple times. Our numbers suggest a combined total of about 5.8 goals, which makes betting on over 5.5 goals a solid choice. However, keep in mind that the Islanders have some players who haven't had much experience in the league, which could lead to uneven performance. Still, with both teams looking to make a statement, expect an exciting game with plenty of goals.

Ottawa Senators vs New York Islanders: New York Islanders 3rd Period Moneyline (+140)

The New York Islanders have struggled a bit lately, winning just 4 of their last 10 games. However, they face an Ottawa Senators team that has had ups and downs too, winning 5 of their last 10. The Islanders are coming into this matchup as underdogs, but they have a real shot to take the win in the third period. Playing at the Canadian Tire Centre, the Senators will be looking to defend their home ice. Still, the Islanders have shown they can pull off surprises, especially in tight situations. The biggest risk in this bet is that both teams are closely matched, and it could go either way. But at these odds, it feels like a smart choice to back the Islanders for a potential win.

Ottawa Senators vs New York Islanders: New York Islanders 3-Way Moneyline (+210)

The New York Islanders have been a bit up and down lately, winning 4 out of their last 10 games. However, they have the chance to turn things around against the Ottawa Senators, who have won 5 of their last 10 but are not unbeatable at home. With a strong underdog rating, the Islanders are looking like a good bet here. The Senators have a lot of players shooting left, and that might give them an advantage, but the Islanders can surprise anyone on a good day. It's worth noting that some of the Islanders' players are still new to the team, which could affect their performance. Still, at +210 odds, it's a risk that could pay off nicely.

Ottawa Senators vs New York Islanders: Bo Horvat Over 2.5 Shots on Goal (-110)

The bet on Bo Horvat to have over 2.5 shots on goal at -110 looks promising. He's been getting plenty of chances, and with Ottawa allowing a fair number of shots recently, this could work in his favor. Both teams are closely matched, and while Ottawa has won 5 of their last 10 games, New York has won 4 of theirs, making it a tight contest. One concrete risk is that some players on the Islanders haven't reached ten games this season, so their consistency could be a question mark. Still, with Horvat's shooting ability and the way both teams are playing, there's a good chance he can hit that mark.

Ottawa Senators vs New York Islanders: Linus Ullmark Over 22.5 Saves (-105)

The Ottawa Senators are playing at home against the New York Islanders, and both teams have been a bit up and down lately. Linus Ullmark has been solid in goal, and he's likely to see plenty of action since the Senators have a good number of shooters on their roster. With both teams scoring at a decent rate, Ullmark should get the chance to make over 22 saves in this matchup. The most concrete risk here is that the Islanders have a few players who haven't played much this season, which might affect their scoring. Still, given the way both teams have been performing, betting on Ullmark to make over 22.5 saves looks like a smart choice.

Ottawa Senators vs New York Islanders: Andre Burakovsky Under 0.5 Assists (-312)

Andre Burakovsky is a player who hasn't been making many assists lately, and that's a key reason for this pick. The Ottawa Senators have been solid, winning five of their last ten games, but Burakovsky hasn't been contributing much in that area. Playing at home in the Canadian Tire Centre, the Senators will be looking to control the game, which could limit Burakovsky's chances to set up goals. On the other side, the New York Islanders have also struggled, winning only four of their last ten. With a lot of players on their roster not even reaching ten games, it shows that they might be mixing things up. This matchup feels pretty tight, and with Burakovsky not really finding his rhythm, betting on him to get under 0.5 assists seems like a smart move.
