Vancouver Canucks vs Ottawa Senators Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/13/26

The Ottawa Senators will be hosting the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday night. The Senators come into this game riding a four-game losing streak. A game against the NHL’s last place Canucks could not have come at a better time. There are a lot of off-ice distractions floating around right now in the Ottawa hockey world, but they need to brush those aside and focus on getting the two points in a must-win game. Things have been brutal at the defensive end of the ice for the Senators, but they are still a good offensive team. They are averaging 3.14 goals per game on the season. They will be facing off against a Canucks team that is brutal at both ends of the ice. The Canucks are only scoring 2.66 goals per game, and they are allowing 3.57 goals per game, which is third-worst in the NHL.

I expect the Senators to take advantage of a weaker opponent who is on the second half of a back-to-back situation. The Senators should be leading this game late into regulation time, bringing in the chance for an empty net goal if needed. Give me the Senators on the puck line in this one.
