Two improving teams, the Nashville Predators and Ottawa Senators, face off in Canada's capital on Monday. Read on for our best Predators vs. Senators pick based on top odds.
The Ottawa Senators' power-play has fueled the team's rocket trip up the Eastern Conference standings – but they might just meet their match Monday night.
After a disappointing start to the season, the Senators appear to be headed in the right direction – having rolled to a 12-6-2 record following a 6-12-1 start. Ottawa has scored 13.33 goals per 60 minutes of five-on-four play in that stretch, the second-most productive power play team in the league behind only the Edmonton Oilers.
But things might get tough Monday against a Nashville Predators team that has just one regulation loss in its last nine games. mediocre start dragged on even longer. The Preds' power play was awful early in the season but is scoring at the third-highest rate in the league over the past three weeks.
