Sharks vs Senators Prediction
The Senators are on the end of a back-to-back, but they’re playing solid hockey and just made light work of a good Panthers side. This will be the Sharks’ fifth straight road game, and they’ve lost 6 of their last 7 tries against the Senators. You can confidently say this version of the Senators is even better than those previous sides. With an impressive defense leading the charge, I’ll roll with the Senators and the low price for a second straight game.
