Goals will be tough to come by at Bridgestone Arena with the Ottawa Senators visiting the Nashville Predators on Monday, February 3.
Ottawa has won four straight to climb into third spot in the Atlantic Division, and my top Senators vs. Predators predictions and NHL picks are calling for the Sens' strong defense to help the total to go Under the number tonight.
Senators vs Predators prediction
My Senators pick
Under 5.5 (-103 at Pinnacle)
My Senators analysis
The Ottawa Senators and Nashville Predators have both played to the Under all season, and they respectively rank 20th (2.83) and 30th (2.61) in goals per game. It’s also a similar story at 5-on-5 with Ottawa scoring 1.97 goals per 60 minutes (31st) and Nashville at 1.89 (32nd).
Ottawa and Nashville also rank 31st and 32nd in 5-on-5 team shooting percentage, and while both clubs have positive regression ahead, this isn’t the spot for the statistical correction to kick in all at once. Both teams are above the line in 5-on-5 Corsi For percentage and expected goals percentage.
Juuse Saros has allowed two goals or fewer in four of his past six starts, including turning away 33 of 35 last time out against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He also ranks 15th in both SV% and goals saved above average per 60 over the past three seasons. His opposite number, Anton Forsberg, has allowed one or fewer goals in three of his last five starts.
I also value that Ottawa dips to 30th in goals per 60 at 5-on-5 (1.85) and goals per game (2.33) on the highway, and the Sens have played to the Under in 33 of their past 48 away games.
Senators vs Predators odds analysis
There has been a short move to the Ottawa side of this moneyline, with the Sens opening at +114 at Pinnacle and trading at +107 as of Monday morning. The Sens have won four straight and nine of their past 12 to climb into third spot in the Atlantic Division, so it isn’t surprising to see the Ottawa action with Nashville sitting third-last in the Western Conference.
This total hasn’t seen meaningful betting action to move the number. Both clubs have played to the Under this season, and in addition to Ottawa trending to the Under on the highway, the Preds have also hit the game total Under in 46 of their last 88 games (+5.30 Units / 6% ROI).
