Ottawa Senators at Buffalo Sabres (-193, 5)

All the Senators want for Christmas is a big trainer’s room. The one they have now is getting a little crowded.

Ottawa has been plagued with injuries all season and took another knock when captain Daniel Alfredsson suffered a shoulder injury in the team’s 8-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins Wednesday night. The Senators’ staff expects Alfredsson to miss up three weeks.

"[Alfredsson's] a big loss," goalie Pascal Leclaire told the media. "He's definitely our leader and a key player on our team ... but we have some good guys in here. We all have to step it up a little bit."

Alfredsson leads the Senators with 31 points, scoring nine goals and recording 22 assists. He was battling a scoring slump with his most recent goal coming in late November.

Ottawa is still playing without star center Jason Spezza, who will be out of action until early February after injuring his knee last week. Spezza, who has been mired in a funk for most of the season, isn’t expected to undergo surgery.

The Sens have averaged just over two goals per game this month and, outside of Wednesday’s beating, have posted a 3-5-1 over/under mark in their last nine contests.

Pick: Under


Los Angeles Kings at Phoenix Coyotes (-135, 5.5)

The Coyotes are hoping the holiday break didn’t snap their sudden streak of hot play.

Phoenix won back-to-back games heading into the hiatus, taking wins over the Anaheim Ducks and Columbus Blue Jackets this week. The Coyotes are winners in four of their last five heading into Saturday’s showdown with the Kings.

Forward Petr Prucha credits the team’s turnaround to just getting the “lucky” bounces. The right winger has been stuck in a bit of a rut in recent games. He hasn’t lit the lamp since scoring twice against the Toronto Maple Leafs December 16.

"You always think after points like that it's gonna be the break point, but it's how it is," Prucha told reports. "It's hockey, and you can't have a point every game. You just have to keep working hard, and it's gonna come, hopefully."

Phoenix is a solid 14-5 inside Jobing.com Arena this season. It has won eight straight games at home heading into Saturday.

Pick: Phoenix -135
