In this article, we will formulate a Senators vs Hockey Club Prediction for this NHL game on Sunday, January 26th  at the Canadian Tire Centre. Let’s take a look at an Ottawa Senators vs Utah Hockey Club. 

Utah Fell Short

Utah has looked good at times this season, and other times they have looked pretty bad. The last game against the Winnipeg Jets was one of those games in which they looked pretty bad. The offense scored two goals while the defense gave up five goals and that led to the defeat. Clayton Keller finished with two assists. Connor Ingram saved 24 of the 28 shots that he faced. Two games ago Utah was able to secure the 4-0 victory against the Minnesota Wild and they are going to need to get that offense out to a fast start again. 


Utah comes into this game averaging 2.87 goals while the defense is giving up 2.96 goals per game. The offense is ranked 20th in the league while the defense is ranked 15th in the league. As a team, they are shooting 10.55 percent which is 15th in the league. As a team, they have a save percentage of .896 which is 15th in the league. In this game, the defense is going to need to be good. 

Senators on Tired Legs

The Senators are going to be on tired legs in this game after a tough game on Saturday night. Two games ago against the Toronto Maple Leafs. and in the last game against the Boston Bruins, they lost 2-0. In the last game against the Bruins, they had 29 shots on goal but couldn’t find the back of the net once. Anton Forsberg was in goal and he played pretty well saving 24 of the 25 shots but it wasn’t enough with the lack of scoring. 

The Senators are averaging 2.73 goals while their defense is giving up 2.77 goals per game. The offense is ranked 25th in the league while the defense is ranked 29th in the league. They do have a positive shot differential of 2.08, which is 9th best in the league. Tim Stutzle has scored 15 goals and added 30 assists.

Senators vs Hockey Club Prediction

The Senators are going to be on tired legs and that is going to end up being the difference here. Utah has been inconsistent at best but two games ago they had some solid goaltending and in this game, it’s going to be much of the same. Utah’s offense is going to score at least four goals and that will end up being the difference here. Ottawa will have no answer. Back the Utah Hockey Club on the money line to cash here.
