For the upcoming match, the Ottawa Senators have moneyline odds of +100 which makes them slight underdogs. However, the spread indicates that they have a good chance to perform well, especially given their recent form. The total is set at a sizeable 6.5 and leans towards the under, but is arguably attainable given recent trends and the strength of the opponent’s goaltending.
Goaltender Linus Ullmark vs. Goaltender Juuse Saros
Linus Ullmark has performed well with the Senators, holding the net strong with a .915 save percentage over 23 games. He will most definitely be vital to the goal-denying efforts against a Predators team that has had its struggles but can explode offensively at any moment.
On the other end, Juuse Saros has an 11-21-6 record which hasn’t been very great for him over the 39 games played, but with a .902 save percentage he does come in with some experience. Saros will need to dig deep in order to be competitive against the Senators’ potent offensive attack.
These two goaltenders will try to control the tempo and the game. Every face these goalies will have to stop their teams from surmounting goals on the back of the net, but it is their grace under pressure that will be decisive in this tightly balanced contest.
Surge in Ottawa: Analyzing the Senators’ Form
The Ottawa Senators seem to be finding their form leaps and bounds into mid-season with their most recent outings, a 6–0 demolition of Minnesota and a 5–4 nail-biter against Washington. Tim Stutzle remains a central player with a team-leading 52 points and his partnership with Drake Batherson and Brady Tkachuk has greatly contributed to Ottawa’s offensive game. With everyone on the team contributing as if reaching their peak, they are ready to build on this elite run.
Predators on Thin Ice: Nashville’s Struggle for Consistency
The Nashville Predators have experienced another rollercoaster of a season, and new red flags have been raised on the performance front after losing games like the 0-3 against Pittsburgh and the close 3-4 against Buffalo. Filip Forsberg alongside Jonathan Marchessault is trying to spark some offense, however, the team’s plus/minus ratings of -11 and -14 respectively. Now, facing an Ottawa team oozing with confidence, the leaders from Nashville need to respond and aid the team to raise their overall performance and take advantage of the home ice.
