New York Rangers vs. Ottawa Senators Predictions
The New York Rangers are riding a wave of success, sitting comfortably at the top of the Eastern Conference thanks to a potent offense led by left winger Artemi Panarin, who has amassed an impressive 35 points this season. The Rangers’ ability to find the back of the net consistently has been a key factor in their dominance, and they’ll be looking to exploit the Senators’ defensive vulnerabilities. With a strong road record of 10-2-1, the Rangers will enter the Canadian Tire Centre with confidence, backed by their solid defensive play which has been a cornerstone of their campaign.
On the other side, the Ottawa Senators have struggled to find consistency this season, reflected in their 16th place standing in the Eastern Conference. However, they have shown flashes of brilliance, particularly from their young center Tim Stutzle, who leads the team with 23 points. The Senators will be relying on Stutzle’s playmaking abilities and the goal-scoring prowess of left winger Brady Tkachuk to challenge the Rangers’ defense. Ottawa’s recent 2-0 win over the Seattle Kraken could provide the momentum they need to take on the formidable Rangers.
This game will also feature a goaltending duel worth watching, with the Rangers’ Igor Shesterkin and the Senators’ Anton Forsberg expected to be key factors in the outcome. Shesterkin’s performance this season places him among the Vezina Trophy contenders, while Forsberg will look to build on his recent shutout. The matchup promises to be an exciting one, with the Rangers seeking to maintain their lead in the conference and the Senators aiming to climb out of the bottom with a statement win against one of the league’s best teams.
New York Rangers vs. Ottawa Senators Pick
The Ottawa Senators may be the underdogs in this matchup, but the value lies in their moneyline bet. Despite the New York Rangers’ impressive record and top conference standing, the Senators have historically had the upper hand in recent encounters, winning two out of the last three games against the Rangers. Additionally, the Senators’ recent shutout victory over the Seattle Kraken could be the spark they need to ignite their offense and challenge the Rangers’ defense. With the game being played at the Canadian Tire Centre, the Senators will have the home-ice advantage, which could prove pivotal in a tightly contested game. Furthermore, the Senators’ goalie Anton Forsberg is coming off a confidence-boosting performance and could be a difference-maker in net.
While the Rangers’ Artemi Panarin is having a standout season, the Senators’ Tim Stutzle and Brady Tkachuk are more than capable of matching the Rangers’ offensive firepower. The Senators’ performance in the third period of their last meeting, where they scored three goals to secure the win, demonstrates their ability to close out games strongly. Considering the favorable odds and the Senators’ potential for an upset, the smart bet is on the Ottawa Senators’ moneyline. This game presents an opportunity for the Senators to turn the tide of their season and continue their success against the Rangers, making the home moneyline bet the more enticing and potentially rewarding choice.
The Pick: Ottawa Senators +115. (Bet365)
