The Ottawa Senators (27-21-7, 13-11-3 Away) will try to avenge a recent home loss to the Carolina Hurricanes (34-15-6, 20-8-2 Home) when they face off against the ‘Canes at the Lenovo Center in Raleigh, NC. Fans can follow the action on ESPN+ once the puck drops at 7 p.m. EST.
These two teams faced off just over a week ago at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, ON (January 24). Carolina got out to an early 3-0 lead in the first period and cruised to a relatively easy 4-1 victory. Ottawa has played solid hockey since that loss, winning the four games since (including a 5-2 win over Colorado and a 7-1 win over Vegas) by a combined score of 19-6. The Hurricanes have played three times since, winning two (5-4 vs. Utah and 3-2 vs. Kings in overtime) and losing one (4-3 vs. Washington) in overtime.
This meeting will be the second of three scheduled between the Senators and Hurricanes this season. Carolina has a firm hold on the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference’s Metropolitan Division with 74 points. Ottawa has a lot of work to do if they are going to claim a wildcard spot. The Senators are seven points back of the Bruins for the final spot (Boston-- 68 points; Ottawa—61 points).

Our Carolina Hurricanes vs Ottawa Senators Prediction
Carolina is one of the best teams in the league, and they did just beat the Senators at home, 4-1. But Ottawa has been a different team since then, with solid play on both ends. Could they pull off the upset? Eh—anything is possible, but I’d say it’s more likely we see an intense, competitive, high-scoring game.
