Golden Knights vs Senators Prediction
I’m on Ottawa in this one. Home ice for Vegas just isn’t what it used to be at this time, and the Golden Knights just flat out aren’t playing well right now. Ottawa lost to Los Angeles, but the Senators have still looked decent on this road trip so far, and I think they get the job done over a stumbling Golden Knights team. Give me Ottawa here.
