Nashville Predators vs Ottawa Senators Prediction
The Predators have had issues stringing together wins over the years, so while they’re off to a fine start, I don’t expect it to last knowing their history. This will also be the Predator’s first road game, and it’s an extremely early start on a weekday, which is weird. This is the Senator’s first home game after a tough schedule to start, getting two contenders in Florida, and you know the place will be packed welcoming this squad after making the playoffs last year. Hockey is exciting again in Ottawa. The Predators are stuck in the mud offensively out of the gate, and playing on the road probably won’t help. Give me the Senators.
