Ottawa Senators vs Utah Hockey Club Prediction
The Utah Hockey Club has played a lot of hockey over the last week or so, as 4 of their last 5 games have gone into overtime. I still lean on Utah because of the home ice where it’s won its first two games and has had a nice energetic crowd. The Ottawa Senators have shown issues on the defensive side, and they got rocked in their only road game this season. The season is still young, but the Senators look like a bottom-tier defensive side. In a near pick ’em spot, give me the Utah Hockey Club at home.
