The Ottawa Senators take a four-game winning streak into the Lenovo Center to face the Carolina Hurricanes tonight.
My Senators vs. Hurricanes predictions and top NHL picks are calling for Ottawa to cover the puck line in a low-scoring game tonight.
Senators vs Hurricanes prediction
Senators vs Hurricanes best bet: Under 6.5 (-105)
The Ottawa Senators have allowed the fewest expected goals per 60 minutes at 5-on-5, and the Carolina Hurricanes have surrendered the eighth-fewest per 60, so I’m not expecting the scoreboard to be lit up tonight.
Additionally, the Sens will be playing the second leg of a back-to-back road set, and for the third time in four nights, so it’s a tough schedule spot for Ottawa.
Hurricanes starter Brandon Bussi has also posted a rock-solid .912 SV% and 2.01 GAA with a respectable 4.36 goals saved above expected across his past nine starts.

Senators vs Hurricanes same-game parlay
Ottawa has won four straight with just six goals against, and that highlighted strong defensive play will enable the Sens to keep this game close. Carolina has only won once by multiple goals across its past six games, too.
Sens winger Drake Batherson has marked the scoresheet in three consecutive games and continues to skate on the top line and jump the boards with the No. 1 power-play unit alongside leading scorer Tim Stutzle. The duo has been on the ice for a high-end 5.45 goals per 60 minutes this season, too.
