Nashville Predators vs Ottawa Senators Prediction
The Senators are rolling defensively and are efficient on special teams. The Predators aren’t the sort of team I believe can go on the road and cool things off. The Preds have had consistency issues dating back to last season, and I’ve never been eager to run to the window to back them. The Senators are in great form, and the line is reasonable. I’ll ride the hot hand. Give me the Senators on their home ice.
