Ottawa Senators vs Nashville Predators
Betting Picks:
- Ottawa Senators Moneyline +108
- Under 5.5 -108
Senators Riding Momentum
The Ottawa Senators are surging in the Atlantic Division, fueled by an impressive 9-2-1 record since January 11. Their recent success has been built on defensive dominance, allowing just 7.4 high-danger chances per game while limiting opponents to 18.2 total scoring chances per contest. They’ve also strung together a four-game winning streak, proving they can shut down opponents effectively.
While their offense isn’t lighting up the scoreboard at five-on-five, the Senators have found ways to take advantage of special teams opportunities. That could be a key factor against a Nashville squad that has struggled to keep pucks out of the net.

Predators’ Offensive Woes Continue
It’s been a frustrating season for the Nashville Predators, especially on offense. Their 5-on-5 shooting percentage sits at a league-worst 6.6%, and they’ve only managed six goals over their last four games. Even worse, their overall shooting percentage across all strengths is a disastrous 4.6%.
With their current four-game losing streak, the Predators have clearly been unable to generate quality scoring chances or finish when opportunities arise. Defensively, they’ve also struggled, allowing 25 goals in their last six games. Given their recent form, breaking through Ottawa’s defensive structure could be a tall order.
Brady Tkachuk Player Prop
A bright spot for Ottawa has been the leadership of Brady Tkachuk. The Sens’ captain has been an offensive catalyst, registering four or more shots on goal in four of his last five games. He’s also coming off a monster performance against Minnesota, firing nine shots on net.
- Brady Tkachuk Over 4+ Shots on Goal (-125)
Prediction: Senators Take a Low-Scoring Battle
With Ottawa locking things down defensively and Nashville struggling to finish scoring chances, this game is shaping up to be a low-scoring affair. The Senators have been the stronger team recently, and with the Predators unable to find the back of the net, Ottawa has a strong chance to extend their winning streak.
Expect the Sens to grind out another victory while the under remains a solid bet.
