Islanders vs. Senators Prediction: Ottawa Is the Likely Winner, but Pass at -155
Analysis updated October 15, 2026 at 7:06 AM CDT
Linus Ullmark's strong start makes Ottawa the likelier winner, but the available evidence doesn't justify the Senators' price.
Ullmark gives Ottawa the clearest edge
The New York Islanders / NHL.com game preview lists Linus Ullmark as Ottawa's likely starter after Samuel Ersson played Tuesday. Ullmark is 5-0 with a .948 save percentage and a 1.27 goals-against average. Those numbers make the Senators the likelier winner, though New York's starter hasn't been confirmed.
Ottawa is 5-2-0 and has won three of its past four despite Tuesday's 7-2 loss to St. Louis. Tim Stützle has five goals and six assists in seven games. New York enters at 3-3-0 after beating Vancouver 3-2 on Tuesday.
Why the -155 price is a pass
CBS Sports / Field Level Media lists the Islanders at 3.17 goals scored and 2.50 allowed per game, better than Ottawa's listed rates of 2.82 and 2.68. That early production makes it harder to justify laying -155 with the Senators.
Ottawa will be without forward William Eklund and defenseman Jake Sanderson, while Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov has an ACL injury. With both teams missing important players and New York's goalie unconfirmed, neither the moneyline nor the 5.5 total offers a strong wager.
