Next Sunday night’s NHL schedule will offer five inter-conference games, but only two of them will take place in the Eastern Conference’s venues. In this regard, even though the matchup between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Ottawa Senators isn’t the most anticipated, this game’s outcome will have a significant impact on the near future of these franchises.
On the one hand, the Vegas Golden Knights have been able to increase the gap between them and the Edmonton Oilers in the Western Conference’s standings to three points. However, their defense struggled during their 6-3 loss to the Boston Bruins two matchdays ago, so facing their third straight inter-conference game against an Atlantic Division team is expected to be tough.
On the other hand, the Ottawa Senators are the second-worst defense in the Atlantic Division with 173 goals conceded, so there aren’t big expectations of them securing a victory against the Golden Knights. Additionally, it must be noted that they faced a very tough game against the Carolina Hurricanes less than 24 hours before the kickoff of this game, so it makes sense that the bookies’ odds made them the underdogs.
