NHL Playoff Preview
Game #5
Pittsburgh Penguins at Ottawa Senators

The Ottawa Senators will look to close out the Pittsburgh Penguins tonight at home in Game #5 of their best of seven series. The Senators lead the series 3-1 after winning the last two games in Pittsburgh. The Senators are getting great play from many players including Mike Comrie. "He's one of the smaller guys in the league but he goes out and plays like (6-foot-9) Zdeno Chara. It's unbelievable," Ottawa winger Chris Neil said. SBG Global reports that the public believes Ottawa will close it out at home laying the -230.

"It's been a lot of fun," Comrie said, "Playing in the playoffs again is what every player wants to do. Having an opportunity to play with this team ... it makes things a lot more enjoyable when you have a chance to win every night."

The Ottawa Senators are -230 favorites with a total of 6.5 under -130 SBG Global.

Center Jason Spezza said the Senators need to finish off the Penguins on Thursday. "We don't want to have to get back on the plane and go to Pittsburgh and give them a chance," Spezza said. "Their crowd there is pretty electric. When you got a team down, you have to try and take their will away from them early. The first period will be big; we have to make sure we come out strong."
