Senators vs Canadiens Prediction
The Canadiens were 3-1 in their 4 meetings against the Senators last season, winning both games in Montreal by 6-3 and 4-1. The Senators are 7-3 in their last 10 meetings and 3-2 in their last 5 visits in Montreal. Over is 7-2 in their last 9 meetings.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.
