Ottawa Senators vs Minnesota Wild Prediction

The Ottawa Senators and the plus money is worth a look based on how they’ve played over the last couple of weeks. However, the Senators are playing their second straight game, and they’ve been on the road since the 17th. The Minnesota Wild are coming off a nice underdog win over the Stars, and they’ve won 8 of the last 10 games against the Senators. The Wild have played some of their best hockey on the road, but this is an ideal spot that sets them up nicely at home. The price is reasonable. Give me the Wild to get a delightful home win on Sunday night.
