Ottawa Senators vs Florida Panthers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/31/26

The Ottawa Senators will be looking to put an end to their two-game losing streak when they are in Florida on Tuesday taking on the Panthers. Despite the 2-game losing streak, the Senators are still only 2 points outside of a wildcard playoff spot. With so many teams still in contention for the final few spots, every point is crucial for them. They are facing off against a Panthers team that is eliminated from the race and coming into this game on a 3-game losing streak. The Senators have the edge in this game offensively; they are averaging 3.30 goals per game compared to the Panthers who average only 2.89. The Panthers are the third-most penalized team in the NHL, so expect a few powerplay opportunities for the Senators.

The Senators will be playing desperate and I expect a good performance from them starting at puck drop. I think they will take advantage of a Panthers team that is only playing for pride at this point in the season. Give me the Senators in this one.
