Islanders vs. Senators Prediction
I’m on the Senators here. The Senators have been another one of those teams this season that have been easy to figure out to this point based on their home and road records. You back them at home and fade them on the road. New York has been inconsistent in regards to when the offense shows up, and I think that Ottawa gets it done here at home once again. Give me the Sens.
