Senators vs Devils Prediction
Both teams are tied 4-4 in their last 8 meetings but the Senators are 3-1 in their last 4 visits in New Jersey.
In this Senators vs Devils Prediction, the Devils are coming as -130 home favorites. I like the Senators as road dogs in this spot, as they have twice as many points as the Devils and have lost only once this season. They have been playing excellent defense, having held their opponents into two goals or less in four of their five games played, while the Devils’ both wins have been two of the worst teams in hockey, the Canucks and the Flyers. Senators also have a better penalty kill and goaltending, so take the Senators on the moneyline for plus money.
