Ottawa Senators vs New York Rangers PredictionÂ
New York comes into this matchup with a very good record to start the season, but they have lost two of their last three games and have only scored six goals in those three games. The Rangers are 2-1-1 at home, while the Senators are 1-3-0 on the road. Ottawa has scored at least four goals in five straight games, but their defense and penalty kill have had issues. These two teams play two different styles of hockey, but I will take the better defensive team. Take the Rangers -1.5 here.Â
