Saturday evening in the Canadian Tire Centre, the Ottawa Senators (23-20-7) will host the Carolina Hurricanes (31-15-5). This will be the 1st meeting between the two Eastern Conference teams. The Senators are currently at the bottom of the Eastern Conference’s Atlantic Division, while the Canes sit atop the conference’s Metropolitan Division.
Carolina is coming into this game after having a 3-game win streak snapped on Thursday. The Chicago Blackhawks scored a shootout victory over the Canes after Jackson Blake’s goal late in the 3rd forced the overtime period for the Canes. Before the loss, the Canes had picked up solid victories over Florida, NJ, and Buffalo. In all three wins, they were able to hold their opponents to just a single goal.
Ottawa has had an underwhelming season to date, and the last stretch of games has been a microcosm of their season. After snapping a 4-game losing streak with back-to-back wins over the Rangers and Canucks, they turned around and dropped 3 of their next 4 games. Their latest game was a loss to Nashville, where they blew a 3-0 lead late in the 2nd period to ultimately lose 5-3.
These teams may sit on opposite ends of their division standings, but they are each coming off a loss and would like to get things turned around before the start of the next month.

Our Ottawa Senators vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction
Carolina holds a distinct advantage over Ottawa in goals scored, goals allowed, and the penalty kill. There is a reason why Carolina is the top team in the Metro division and Ottawa is set to find out why on Saturday night in their own arena. Frederik Andersen is slated to start for the Canes in the net and we like him to bounce back after allowing 3 goals to Chicago in his last start. Like how he bounced back against the Devils, allowing just 1 goal after giving up 4 the start before that.
