Senators vs Predators Betting Prediction

Nashville comes into this matchup on a five game winning streak and they have out scored their opponents by a total of 22-10 in those five games. All five of those wins did come on the road for Nashville, as they are only 14-15-0 at home this year. Ottawa is one of the worst teams in the Eastern Conference and they are only 8-15-1 on the road this season, but they have played slightly better recently. The Senators are on a back to back in this game, after losing to Washington on Monday, but they did beat Vegas and Dallas before that. I know Ottawa has played better in recent games, but I can’t trust them on a back to back on the road. Give me the Predators here.
