Devils vs Senators Prediction
I believe that the Senators will defeat the Devils in Ottawa with no issues Tuesday night. The Senators come into this contest with all of the momentum after winning their last three games while scoring twelve goals.
The Devils, meanwhile, have had serious issues in their last three games and are currently on a three-game losing streak.
The Devils also have very severe goaltending issues, and starting goaltender Andrew Hammond does not have the greatest numbers this season. The Devils also have one of the worst defenses in the NHL, and I believe Ottawa’s offense will have no problem finding the back of the net against the Devils on Tuesday night.
Expect a Senators win Tuesday night against the Devils. When you are betting online, consider the Senators’ moneyline for the play of the night.
Pick: Senators (-140)
