Blackhawks vs Senators Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline bet in this one, we have the Senators coming out on top. However, with the lines sitting at -287, I’d recommend looking to the spread as our projections have the Senators winning by more than one goal.

When it comes to a puck line pick, our choice is the Senators to secure the win and cover. Expect the Senators to dominate this one with a multi-goal win over the Blackhawks.

For those looking at the over/under line set at 6 goals, our expectation is that this game will surpass that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the over.
