Senators vs Blackhawks Prediction

The Blackhawks have snagged a couple of wins here lately, cashing nice underdog tickets, but it’s just not enough for me to look in their direction. The Blackhawks are one of the worst teams in the NHL, and they have just nine road wins. Only the Predators and Sharks have lost bettors more money this season than the Blackhawks. The Senators have earned points in eight of their last 10 games as they get ready for the playoffs, and the last thing they need in terms of confidence is a loss to the lousy Blackhawks. Give me the Senators and the PL for max betting value.
