Canucks vs Senators Prediction

The Canucks are 5-1 in their last 6 meetings against the Senators and the over is 7-1-1 in their last 9 meetings.

In this Canucks vs Senators Prediction, the Senators are coming as -245 home favorites. The Senators have been the better team this season and are facing a Canucks team that are in a brutal scheduling spot, as they are on the second leg of a road back-to-back. This will be also their third road game in four nights and their fifth road game overall. They have also been playing terrible hockey, as they are 1-9 in their last 10 games, but the Senators are also 2-7 in their last 9 games, so I see no value on either side. Both defenses have been terrible this season, with 6.98 goals per game combined and both teams are 11-5 to the over in their last 16 games combined. Take the over 6 in this one.
