In this Senators vs Canadiens Prediction, the Canadiens are coming as -125 home favorites. Both teams are coming into this matchup in good form, but the Canadiens have a better overall record, they are strong at home with a 3-1 record and are better both offensively and defensively than the Senators. Montreal also has the edge in goaltending, as Ullmark has been struggling for the Senators this season, so I expect the hosts to get the job done in this one. Take the Montreal Canadiens on the moneyline in this one.
