Ottawa Senators vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction

The Hurricanes are the better team and at home, so I’m not shocked they’re this big of a favorite. However, the Senators and the big plus money are worth a look. The Senators are on a roll with 4 straight wins where the offense is rolling. The Canes have also lost four of their last 10 games, and that’s enough to make them a losing team during that stretch in terms of profit, as losses at these steep prices kill the bankroll. This is a revenge spot for the Senators after losing to the Canes at home last week. I’ll take a shot with the road dog here given the Senators current form.
