Hurricanes vs Senators Prediction
The Hurricanes are 5-1 in their last 6 meetings against the Senators and are 3-2 in their last 5 visits in Ottawa.
In this Hurricanes vs Senators Prediction, the Hurricanes are coming as -125 road favorites. The Canes have the Senators on the ropes as they have a commanding 3-0 series lead and are close to sweeping them. They have chocked the Senators defensively and held them into just three total goals in the three games of this series but the Senators might win one here to avoid getting swept in front of their home crowd, so I will go with the under in this one. All three games of this series had two, five and three total goals and I don’t see much changing. Take the under 5.5.
