One of the bigger surprises to start the NHL season has been the Ottawa Senators. Despite them starting their tenure without Brady Tkachuk, they aren’t far behind the Boston Bruins when it comes to the top of the Atlantic Division. Of course, given that we’re here to make a Senators vs Golden Knights prediction, it’s not all rainbows and butterflies.
Mitch Marner and the Vegas Golden Knights are looking for yet another Stanley Cup Final appearance after nearly hoisting their second since becoming a franchise. They were off to an even stronger start than the Sens but have since lost three straight games. The good news for them is the fact that they’re returning to the desert to play this one on home ice. Therefore, they’re the focus of our best Senators vs Golden Knights prediction, as we have them getting it done inside the 60 minutes.
Ottawa has still been more inconsistent than the record indicates, squeaking by a couple mediocre teams by just a single goal while also having some losses by multiple goals against the San Jose Sharks, Philadelphia Flyers and Detroit Red Wings. Vegas is stronger than each of those teams, and we don’t even need to sweat out a puck line here.
Senators vs Golden Knights prediction: Vegas 3-way ML (+105) available at time of publishing. Playable to -125.
