The Senators will travel to Tampa Bay on Thursday for a back-to-back for both teams. Ottawa (34-40-4) is coming off a disappointing shutout loss down in Sunrise, and will now make the short trip up in hopes of turning around their misfortune in Florida. Tampa Bay (44-27-7) has won 6 of their last 8 games and 11 of their last 14 to clinch a playoff position in 2024. 10 of these 11 wins have come in the form of multiple-goal advantages, courtesy of an offense that ranks in the top 5 in goals scored per game, shooting percentage, and power play percentage. Joonas Korpisalo will be the last line of defense for the Senators, while Tampa Bay will trot out the reliable Andrei Vasilevskiy.  Penalties may decide this game. The Ottawa Senators' opponents have had 232 power play chances, ranking 20th in the NHL, while the Lightning’s 70 power play goals are the most in the NHL.

Our Ottawa Senators vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction

Although both teams are playing on zero day’s rest in a mutual back-to-back affair, neither had to leave the state of Florida. The lack of travel should keep each side fresh, leaving goals to be expected. Ottawa will struggle to keep this NHL-leading offense at bay and may resort to desperate efforts leading to costly power play opportunities for the Lightning. Yet, this price on Ottawa is starting to get out of hand. Therefore, we prefer siding with goals in this one. Our Ottawa Senators vs Tampa Bay Lightning prediction: Over 6.5 goals (-110) at BetMGM.
