Golden Knights vs Senators Prediction
For a moneyline pick, I’m taking the Senators to pick up on a win over the Golden Knights at home. With the moneyline sitting at -129, I’ll be locking in a bet on the Senators straight-up.
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 Golden Knights.
With an over/under line sitting at 6.5 goals, we like this game to remain below that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the under.
