The Washington Capitals and Ottawa Senators are set for an Eastern Conference battle on Tuesday night in the NHL. Both have succeeded so far this season and should provide an ultra-competitive game between one another. To get you set for all that is to come, here is our Capitals vs Senators predictions.
Ottawa has won three of their last four meetings, but I see them being stopped in their tracks here. The Capitals command a physical and gritty type of play that has helped them to a 9-6-0 start. This is their first road game since October 29th, so they shouldn’t suffer from any fatigue, and they are fully healthy minus a few depth defenders. Offseason acquisitions in Jordan Kyrou (14 points) and Alex Tuch (11 goals) have proven to be key additions, adding to an already deep, veteran group. Ottawa continues to miss young stud William Eklund, as well as some depth forwards to injury. Both teams have a lot to offer, but this Capitals team outmatches them in depth and power. For our Capitals vs. Senators prediction, we are siding with Washington.
Capitals vs Senators prediction: Capitals ML (+105) available at time of publishing. Playable to -110.
