In a fatal four-way death match for the final Wild Card berth in the East, the Ottawa Senators try to break the deadlock of teams stuck at 88 points when they host the Carolina Hurricanes tonight.<\/p>\n

Ottawa currently holds the final spot, but Detroit, Philly, and Columbus are all tied with the Senators at 88 points.<\/p>\n

My Hurricanes vs. Senators\u00a0predictions and NHL picks<\/a> target the total, as Ottawa will need to keep up with Carolina’s high-octane offense.<\/p>\n

Hurricanes vs Senators prediction
\nHurricanes vs Senators best bet: Over 6.5 (+105)<\/p>\n

The Ottawa Senators<\/a> lost 4-1 last night and it won’t get any easier as they host\u00a0the Carolina Hurricanes<\/a>, a team that\u2019s ripped off four wins in its last five.<\/p>\n

The Canes are fourth in the league in scoring at better than 3.5 goals per game. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Ottawa and its opponent have combined to score 7+ goals in nine of its last 12 games on the second night of a back-to-back.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tim Stutzle<\/a> is in a bit of a scoring slump, going goalless in each of his last seven games, so the visiting Canes should help. Stutzle is the lone Senator who has scored in the two previous games against Carolina this season.<\/p>\n

Brady Tkachuk<\/a> ripped seven shots on net against Minnesota in the last game, and he\u2019s got a generous total of 2.5 shots for today\u2019s contest.<\/p>\n

The Senators captain has registered 3+ shots on goal in eight of his last 10 games.<\/p>\n
