Predators Looking to Bounce Back

In his last game against the Utah Mammoth, he recorded a goal on two shots in 14:53 last time out. Their power play has been significantly below the league average as they converted on just 1-of-9 (11.11 percent) of their attempts, so this will be something that needs to improve going forward.

He last played on Saturday against the Utah Mammoth in an overtime loss, where he allowed three goals on 23 shot attempts. As a team, Nashville ranks second in hockey with just four goals allowed.

Nashville Predators vs. Ottawa Senators Pick
Spread Pick for Predators vs. Senators
- Nashville Predators +150 (4 units)
These teams are playing at a similar level to begin the season, but the Nashville Predators have been playing as the better team. Their one loss was in overtime and while this game is going to be the opening game of the season for Ottawa, the Preds are clicking defensively right now. The ability to kill penalties is a significant factor and these teams are on opposite levels of that. Ottawa has had a tough opening to the schedule with both Florida teams on the road, but go with them to lose their home opener as well.
Over/Under Pick for Predators vs. Senators
- OVER 5.5 (5 units)
Linus Ullmark has struggled in the early stages of the season as he has an .808 save percentage and 5.01 goals allowed per game, which ranks him 42nd in the sport in both categories. Both teams are getting shots on the net as the Predators are 19th with 27.0 shots on goal per game, while the Senators are 10th with 31.0 shots per game. With both teams being able to apply pressure on the opposing defense, expect OVER 5.5 GOALS as the better bet to make here.
