Predators vs. Senators Predictions
The Predators, currently on the cusp of a playoff spot in the Western Conference, are looking to bounce back from a recent loss and regain their earlier momentum. Nashville’s offense is spearheaded by Filip Forsberg, who leads the team with 23 goals and 50 points, while defenseman Roman Josi’s playmaking abilities have been crucial, contributing 32 assists. Despite their middle-of-the-pack offensive ranking, the Predators’ defense has been a strong point, with key contributions from their blue line and goaltender Juuse Saros.
Ottawa, on the other hand, is struggling to find consistency this season, sitting at the bottom of the Atlantic Division. The Senators are hoping to snap a two-game losing streak and will rely heavily on the offensive prowess of Brady Tkachuk and the playmaking skills of Tim Stutzle, who leads the team with 35 assists. However, Ottawa’s defensive woes have been a significant concern, as they’ve allowed a high number of goals against, which could be an area the Predators look to exploit.
This matchup will also feature a goaltending duel between Nashville’s Saros and Ottawa’s likely starter, Joonas Korpisalo. Both netminders have had their share of struggles this season, but a strong performance in net could be the difference-maker in this game. With the Predators aiming to tighten their grip on a playoff spot and the Senators looking to play spoiler and build towards the future, this game promises to be an intriguing battle on the ice.
Predators vs. Senators Picks
Considering the recent trends and historical head-to-head matchups between the Nashville Predators and the Ottawa Senators, the under appears to be the most compelling pick for this game. The Predators have been involved in low-scoring games recently, with the under hitting in each of their last five games. This trend aligns with the past four meetings between these two teams, where the under has consistently hit. Nashville’s defensive strength, highlighted by their shot-blocking and physical play, has been a significant factor in keeping scores low. Additionally, goaltender Juuse Saros has been a reliable presence in net, capable of shutting down opposing offenses as evidenced by his recent shutout against the Senators.
On the Ottawa side, despite having offensive talents like Brady Tkachuk and Tim Stutzle, the team has struggled to convert chances into goals, which could limit their scoring against a defensively sound Predators team. Furthermore, the Senators’ own defensive challenges suggest that they may focus more on tightening their game at the back to avoid conceding, rather than engaging in a high-scoring affair. With both teams showing tendencies that favor a low-scoring game, and considering the set total line of 6.5, the under is the prudent choice for this matchup.
The Pick: Under 6.5 +100 (DraftKings)
