Pick
I’m backing the Blues in this game. Both teams have been struggling as of late, but I feel like the Blues are still the better team and the Blues are still a solid team at home while the Ottawa Senators haven’t been at their best when they take their show on the road. I think this is going to be a tight one, but in the end, I look for the Blues to get it done here.
