Carolina Hurricanes vs Ottawa Senators Prediction
The Ottawa Senators have put together a couple of nice wins here and there, but they’re on the road, where they haven’t had much success. The Carolina Hurricanes are 11-3 on their home ice, and they’ve won 7 of the last 9 games against the Senators. The Canes have outscored the Senators 15-3 in the last three games. It’s hard to step in front of the Hurricanes in this spot. Of course, I’ll lay the PL to shave down the price.
