Ottawa Senators vs Nashville Predators Prediction

I’m on the Senators here. The Senators have struggled with consistency for a fair amount of the season, while the one thing that Nashville has done consistently is find ways to lose hockey games and I’m frankly not getting enough plus money to consider backing one of the biggest disappointments in the NHL so far this season. Give me Ottawa at home here.
