Hurricanes vs Senators Prediction
I’m on the Senators +1.5 here. I think the Senators compete here, as they’ve been playing some really solid hockey as of late. While Carolina’s in a nice run of form themselves, they’ve found themselves in their fair share of close games as of late. I think the Senators at least keep it close if not win this game outright. Give me Ottawa.
