Rangers vs Senators Prediction

For a moneyline pick, I’m taking the Rangers to pick up on a win over the Senators and the road. With the moneyline sitting at -134, I’ll be locking in a bet on the Rangers straight-up.

When it comes to my suggested pick for the puck line, I’d advise taking the Senators to cover. Even in the event of a Rangers victory, this matchup is likely to remain closely contested, and the Senators should cover the puck line.

With an over/under line sitting at 6.5 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
