Bruins vs Senators Prediction

I’m on the Senators here. I just think we’re at a point right now where the Bruins are just struggling to find consistency, taking the win one game, lose one game, and alternate approach as of late and it’s hard to feel good about backing them, even at home, with those issues. The Senators have won both meetings this season and are still playing some decent hockey as of late despite the shutout last time out. Give me Ottawa here.
