Ottawa Senators vs San Jose Sharks Prediction & Picks, October 22, 2026

The Ottawa Senators need to outscore the San Jose Sharks tonight to secure a win. The Senators have been on a decent run, winning 6 of their last 10 games. They also have home advantage at the Canadian Tire Centre, which is always a boost for the players. While the Sharks have also won 5 of their last 10, their defense tends to allow chances. They block a lot of shots, but the Senators have a strong lineup, especially with a good mix of left and right shooters. The real risk here is how close both teams are in recent form, but the Senators have shown they can score when it matters.

Ottawa Senators vs San Jose Sharks: Under 6.5 Total Goals (-118)

The Ottawa Senators have scored well lately, winning 6 of their last 10 games, but they're up against the San Jose Sharks, who have also been solid with 5 wins in their last 10. Both teams are playing in a tight matchup, and the total goals for this game could be lower than expected. Our numbers suggest a combined total of about 5.7 goals, which is under the 6.5 mark. The Sharks are known for blocking a lot of shots, averaging 15 per game, which makes it harder for opponents to score. Plus, both teams are closely matched, so it might be a tough battle on the ice. A lot of factors point to a lower-scoring game, making the under a smart pick.

Ottawa Senators vs San Jose Sharks: Ottawa Senators -1.5 Puck Lines (+182)

Tonight, the Ottawa Senators need to win by at least two goals to cover the puck line. They've been strong lately, winning six out of their last ten games, which shows they know how to find the net. Playing at home in the Canadian Tire Centre gives them an extra boost, and their goal-scoring form has been pretty solid. The San Jose Sharks have also won five of their last ten, but their defense has struggled a bit. They block more shots than average, but Ottawa's offense might find a way to break through. The Sharks have been physical with a lot of hits, but if the Senators can keep up their scoring, they have a good chance to win comfortably. Just remember, if it turns into a tight game, things could get tricky.

Ottawa Senators vs San Jose Sharks: Yaroslav Askarov Under 24.5 Saves (-130)

Yaroslav Askarov has been solid in goal for the Ottawa Senators, and they've won 6 of their last 10 games. With the Senators playing at home, they could keep the pressure on the San Jose Sharks and limit the number of shots on goal. San Jose has been known to block a lot of shots, but their scoring hasn't been consistent, which means fewer chances for Askarov to make saves. Betting on under 24.5 saves for Askarov looks promising because the Senators are in a good place right now. However, if the Sharks find their rhythm, they could challenge him more than expected, which is the main risk here. Still, the odds are in our favor for a lower save count today.

Ottawa Senators vs San Jose Sharks: Macklin Celebrini Over 1.5 Points (+190)

Macklin Celebrini has been making waves in his first season with the Ottawa Senators, and he's been a key player in their recent success, winning 6 of their last 10 games. He has a good chance to score at least 2 points against the San Jose Sharks, who have won 5 of their last 10 games but have struggled to keep up with opponents lately. The Sharks are tough, blocking a lot of shots and landing plenty of hits, but this matchup could be different. Celebrini's skill and recent form make the bet of over 1.5 points appealing, especially at +190 odds. The most concrete risk here is that both teams are pretty evenly matched, so it could go either way.

Ottawa Senators vs San Jose Sharks: Michael Misa Under 0.5 Goals (-500)

The Ottawa Senators are playing well lately, winning 6 of their last 10 games. They have some great shooters, with most of their players shooting left. Meanwhile, the San Jose Sharks have also been competitive, winning 5 of their last 10. They've been strong defensively, blocking shots better than average and landing plenty of hits to keep the game physical. For this matchup, betting on Michael Misa to score seems like a solid choice. The odds suggest he's a favorite to get a goal, but there's a real chance the Sharks' tough defense could make it hard for him to find the net. With both teams showing solid form but also capable of shutting down scoring opportunities, it could be a tight one.
