Adnan
4-3 Senators
GWG: Mike Hoffman

I think the Mike Hoffman line will be able to make up for the defensive shortcomings

Record: 1-2, 1 Points
0 Exact Scores, 0 Game Winning Goals

Ary
4-1 Blue Jackets
GWG: Ryan Johansen

Stars for Columbus take over, as the Sens never really seem able to handle Ryan Johansen, who nets the GWG.

Record: 1-2, 2 Points
1 Exact Scores, 0 Game Winning Goals

B_T
4-1 Senators
GWG: Mark Stone

I expect Lumbus to look better than they do right now over the course of the full season but they can't get anything going yet and look absolutely terrible so far, while the Sens will be looking for the bounce-back. Should be a romp, as long as the Sens don't take this game lightly.

Record: 1-2, 2 Points
1 Exact Scores, 0 Game Winning Goals

Callum
4-2 Blue Jackets
GWG: Nick Foligno

I keep forgetting that Nick Foligno is now a captain. That'll always be strange to me. Anyways, he's gonna score.

Record: 2-1, 2 Points
0 Exact Scores, 0 Game Winning Goals

Ian
4-3 Senators
GWG: Erik Karlsson

Foligno will have a good game against his former team, picking up at least a goal. The Sens will not be outdone and with a pair of third period goals, steal the win from the blue jackets grasp.

Record: 2-1, 4 Points
1 Exact Scores, 1 Game Winning Goals

nkb
3-2 Senators
GWG: Erik Karlsson

Erik Karlsson has a vintage game and pots the winner plus a couple of assists. Columbus carries the play but Anderson is solid throughout.

Record: 3-0, 4 Points
0 Exact Scores, 1 Game Winning Goals

Richard

No pick submitted.

Record: 3-0, 3 Points
0 Exact Scores, 0 Game Winning Goals

Ross
5-3 Blue Jackets
GWG: Brandon Saad

The Jackets are going to be better than most expect this year, but will still miss out on the playoffs because of a stacked Metro division. Still, the first taste of inter-division hockey will be too much for the Sens.

Record: 3-0, 3 Points
0 Exact Scores, 0 Game Winning Goals

Trevor
4-3 Senators
GWG: Mike Hoffman

It seems like Ottawa hasn't had too much trouble beating Columbus recently, and although they have improved, I'm not sure if they're quite a playoff team.

Record: 0-3, 0 Points
0 Exact Scores, 0 Game Winning Goals
