Two of the worst teams in the NHL Eastern Conference will clash next Saturday, January 11th at 03:00 pm CST, so the big urgency around Pittsburgh Penguins and Ottawa Senators generates a huge expectation around this game. With that in mind, it isn’t weird to find out that there’s no favorite to win this game according to the bookmakers’ odds.
When looking at Pittsburgh Penguins’ performance, they were able to cut off with a streak of 4 losses in a row after their most recent victory over Edmonton Oilers (5-3), however they only shot more than 30 times on target in 1 out of their last 5 games in a row. That number reflect the offensive issues that they’ve been facing throughout the season.
On Ottawa Senators’ case, this Canadian team was already in the playoffs’ spots some weeks ago, however their most recent streak of 4 losses in a row take them out of those positions. Nonetheless, it must be remarked that they were able to shoot more than 30 times on target in 3 out of their last 5 games, so they just need to increase their offensive effectiveness to become again a competitive squad.

Our Pittsburgh Penguins vs Ottawa Senators Prediction
In summary, if Ottawa Senators could carry on with the generation of dangerous opportunities, this could be a very good opportunity for them to recover from the awful performance that took them out of the playoffs’ spots. Nevertheless, that pressure could be a huge pressure on Brady Tkachuk and Claude Giroux, who have been offensive references for the Senators throughout the season. Therefore, the pick of Pittsburgh Penguins – Ottawa Senators: Total Shots By Claude Giroux – Under 1.5!
