Ottawa Senators vs. Arizona Coyotes Predictions

The Ottawa Senators are hitting the road with hopes of turning their fortunes around after a string of losses that have left them at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. With a recent coaching change, the Senators are under the interim guidance of Jacques Martin, who along with assistant Daniel Alfredsson, will look to reignite the team’s competitive spark. The Senators’ offense, led by Tim Stutzle’s 29 points, will need to find a way past a Coyotes defense that has been solid at home this season.

On the flip side, the Arizona Coyotes have been finding their rhythm, especially on home ice at Mullett Arena. With Clayton Keller leading the team in points and Michael Carcone surprising many with his goal-scoring prowess, the Coyotes have shown they can compete with the best. Their recent shutout victories are a testament to their improving defense and goaltending, which will be crucial in holding off the Senators’ attack.

This game could come down to special teams and goaltending, with both teams looking to capitalize on power-play opportunities. The Senators will need to be wary of the Coyotes’ ability to capitalize on home advantage, while the Coyotes must keep the Senators’ top scorers in check. As both teams vie for crucial points in their respective conference standings, this matchup promises to be a tightly contested affair with potential playoff implications down the line.

Ottawa Senators vs. Arizona Coyotes Pick

The Ottawa Senators are poised for a rebound after a series of losses and a significant change in coaching staff. With the recent appointment of Jacques Martin as interim coach, the team is expected to rally and bring a renewed focus to their game. The Senators have historically performed well against the Coyotes, splitting the last four games and showing a strong offensive capability, as evidenced by their 5-3 victory in the most recent matchup. Despite their current losing streak, the Senators have the offensive firepower, led by Tim Stutzle, to overcome the Coyotes’ defense. Additionally, the Senators’ power play has been effective, which could be a deciding factor in this matchup.

While the Coyotes have been strong at home, the Senators are under pressure to turn their season around and may benefit from the ‘new coach bounce’ that often revitalizes a team. The Coyotes’ recent form has been impressive, but the Senators are due for a win and have the motivation to fight for every point as they aim to climb out of the bottom of the Eastern Conference. Given the urgency of the Senators’ situation and the potential for a fresh start under a new coaching regime, the Ottawa Senators moneyline bet is a compelling choice for this game.
