Nashville Predators vs Ottawa Senators Prediction: The home team will be stronger

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on February 28. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Nashville has earned the maximum number of points - ten - in the last five meetings, which is the best indicator in the West for this period of time. Of course, with this game, the Predators' position in the conference standings has improved significantly. They are now eighth and have a slight four-point advantage over lower-ranked St. Louis. In the last two meetings, the Predators first beat San Jose (4:2) and then Anaheim (4:2).

Ottawa has one of the worst defenses in the NHL. They have allowed 199 pucks in 56 games, which is an average of 3.6 pucks per game. However, to say that the Senators have failed in recent meetings is clearly not possible. Most recently, they managed to outplay Tampa 4:2, Dallas (5:1) and Vegas (4:3 after a shootout). Thus, Ottawa climbed to 14th place in the Eastern Conference table with 53 points, which is five less than the superior Buffalo.

Ottawa is quoted as an outsider, which is not surprising at all. They show an extremely unstable game, first losing from match to match to the mid-table players and then winning two or three favorites in a row. However, in this game, Nashville will take all the points for themselves. The Predators are fighting to maintain their advantage and place in the playoff zone. Besides, after five victories in a row, they approach the game with the Senators on the plus side of morale. Based on the above, we'll bet on a final win for the home team.
