Ottawa Senators vs. Vegas Golden Knights Prediction, NHL Odds

On what is a completely loaded Wednesday slate in the NHL, Senators vs. Golden Knights could be one of the best matchups. Ottawa faced more adversity at the start of the season, but Vegas is facing more adversity now.

The Senators are 5-2-1 in their last eight games, with both regulation losses being by just a goal. Meanwhile, the Golden Knights enter this game with three wins in their last 10 games. These are good teams, both with playoff aspirations, and both could use two points. This should be a great game.

Vegas is a -170 favourite to win on the NHL odds, with the total set at 5.5.

Senators vs. Golden Knights NHL Betting Odds

This is the fourth of a seven-game road trip for the Senators. They started the trip with wins against the Ducks and Sharks before narrowly losing to the Kings. With that, they’re 3-1-2 in their last six road games. The strong form on the road comes at an opportunistic time, as Vegas is 1-2-2 in their last five played at home.

Another trend in both Ottawa and Vegas games recently is low game totals. The Under has hit in five out of Ottawa’s last six games and in four out of Vegas’ previous six games. Combining Senators road games with Golden Knights home games, the Under has cashed in seven out of the last 11.

Ottawa Senators

In their last four games, Ottawa has scored seven goals. Fortunately, they have also allowed just seven goals in that span. If Ottawa can continue to flex strong goal prevention, it will give them a chance in this one, especially if they can muster up a few more offensive chances.

Tim Stützle leads the Senators in both goals (11) and points (21). He is carrying Ottawa a bit with three goals and five points in their last five games. Ottawa has a great mix of talent and depth. Without a ton to show for it lately on the offensive side of the puck, Ottawa is going to need contributions from veterans like Claude Giroux, David Perron, and Shane Pinto if they’re going to continue collecting wins.

Vegas Golden Knights

The Golden Knights have been uncharacteristically cold lately. Vegas has been remarkably consistent since its inaugural season in the NHL. That is especially true when they play at home. But they enter this game with three wins in their last 10 games, and with one win in their last five played at home.

The good news for Vegas is that they accrued a point in four out of those seven losses. That is how good this team is. They can be slumping but still collect points in seven out of 10 games. Vegas still has a few of the best forwards and defencemen in hockey, with Jack Eichel, Mitch Marner, and Shea Theodore leading the way. They’ll need those guys to continue producing to get back on a roll.

NHL Prediction: Who Will Win Senators vs. Golden Knights?

The Golden Knights are a tough fade against just about any team in hockey. The Senators are no exception. Ottawa has kept things a bit too close in its games lately, even if they’ve come out on the right side more often than not. But that is playing with fire against a team like the Golden Knights.

Vegas is a deep, talented team. But they’re outside the Pacific’s top three, and there are several teams log-jammed with them in the wild card. The Golden Knights will bring a strong effort on Wednesday and will look to get back in the win column with a 4-2 victory.
