Senators vs Canadiens Prediction

The Ottawa Senators have to be thrilled about this game, as it’s their first home game in three weeks. The Senators are 16-7-2 at home this season. The Habs have fallen off a cliff with a 2-7-1 record in their last 10 games, and they’ve allowed three or more goals in nine straight games. The Canadians have allowed a combined 15 goals in their last three games. If that wasn’t enough, the Senators have won nine of their last 10 games against the Canadians, and most of those games weren’t close. Six of the Senator’s last nine wins over the Habs have been decided by two or more goals. Give me the Senators to continue their dominance over the Canadians.
