Senators vs Rangers Prediction
New York won 4-2 in Ottawa in the previous meeting between those two teams this season. New York is also 5-1 in its last six meetings against Ottawa.
Both teams have been struggling lately, as the Rangers have been terrible with just one win in their last eight matches, while Ottawa is coming off a win that snapped their previous four-game losing streak. I trust neither side in this matchup, as New York has been abysmal at home and Ottawa has lost their last three road games and both teams have been in an offensive slump, as they both have scored just two goals in their last six games combined. Take the under 6 in this one.
