Senators vs Rangers Prediction
In their previous meeting earlier this season, the Rangers won 4-2 on the road and are 5-1 in their last 6 meetings.
In this Senators vs Rangers Prediction, the Senators are coming as -115 road favorites. Both teams have almost identical overall records and are both coming into this matchup in terrible form, as they are 1-7 and 1-4 in their last 8 and 5 games respectively. The Rangers have been terrible at home, with just 5 wins this season, but still I see no value on either side. Both offenses have been struggling mightily lately and they average just 5.66 goals per game combined this season, so I like the under 6 in this one.
