Carolina Hurricanes vs Ottawa Senators Prediction, Odds and Picks for Saturday, 04/25/26

The Carolina Hurricanes, the top seeds in the Eastern Conference, can become the first team to punch a ticket to the second round in Game 4 on Saturday afternoon in Canada’s capital city. Carolina has pushed the Ottawa Senators to the brink of elimination with 3 low-scoring victories in the first 3 games of the series. Carolina won 2-0 in Game 1 in Raleigh, 3-2 in double-overtime in Game 2 and 2-1 as the series shifted to the Great White North. Carolina’s Logan Stankoven has been a beast, scoring in all 3 games. If you’re hunting for an anytime goal scorer for player props, Stankoven is your best bet on either side.

Ottawa looks to avoid a first-round sweep — similar to last season. It was down 0-2 coming back to Ottawa against the Toronto Maple Leafs and lost Game 3 in overtime. It won a pair of elimination games before finally succumbing in Game 6. So, at least the Senators have that experience to tap into. To make matters worse for the Senators, not only are they down 0-3 in the series but they also lost Jake Sanderson on their top defensive line after he took a blow to the head. If he is in the concussion protocol and/or unavailable for Game 4, it might be broom time for the Senators. However, let’s back Ottawa lightly. This is a prideful team, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see a low-scoring win as Ottawa staves off elimination for at least 1 game.
