Ottawa Senators vs Florida Panthers Prediction
The Senators are a young, feisty team that is probably looking forward to this matchup. The Senators have also won 2 of the last 3 games against the Panthers. However, the Panthers have been a tough out at home during this title stretch, and we’re seeing guys step up given their injury situation. There’s a balanced attack going on right now, as eight different players have at least 5 shot attempts already through two games. There’s no reason for me to step in front of the Panthers right now. Give me the home team.
