The Ottawa Senators look to keep up their improved form in a road game against the Chicago Blackhawks at the United Center on Tuesday.
The Senators stumbled out of the gate, losing five of their first seven games this season, but they closed out last week with back-to-back wins. Travis Green's men limited both the Philadelphia Flyers and Washington Capitals to one goal.
Ottawa has greatly improved its defense, and goaltender Linus Ullmark has been back to his best in recent games. After the 2023 Vezina Trophy winner gave up at least three goals in five of his first six appearances this season, he saved 34 of 36 shots in the games against Washington and Philadelphia.
Given Chicago's underwhelming scoring record of 2.89 goals per game, Ullmark could have another easy day at the office on Tuesday. However, the Blackhawks aren't doing too badly this season, sitting in the middle of the Central Division with a 4-3-2 record.
Connor Bedard finally appears to have a competitive team surrounding him, as the Blackhawks have suffered only one regulation loss in their last six games. On Sunday, the Los Angeles Kings ended Chicago's point streak at five games with a 3-1 victory at the United Center.

Our Chicago Blackhawks vs Ottawa Senators Prediction
Chicago has played well so far this season, but the team has relied heavily on goaltender Spencer Knight, who has been outstanding. Ahead of Tuesday's action, he has posted a 3-2-1 record with a 1.97 goals-against average and a .937 save percentage.
In the three losses Knight has suffered, he simply hasn't received enough goal support, and Jeff Blashill's men must get pucks past a Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender on Tuesday. At the same time, stopping the Senators' offense will also be challenging, as they have a good scoring record, even with Brady Tkachuk on the shelf.
Our prediction for Chicago Blackhawks vs. Ottawa Senators: Senators to win.
