Ottawa Senators vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction 

Ottawa comes into this matchup playing some very strong hockey over the last 10 days, but they will be on a back-to-back and will be on the road for this game. The Senators haven’t been the best on the road this year, while the Lightning are 16-7-2 at home. Tampa Bay has dropped three of their last four games and they have scored a total of six goals in those four games. The Lightning are having plenty of issues offensively right now and I think we are going to see a lower-scoring game here. Take the under in this contest.
