Senators vs Rangers Predictions and Picks
"Both teams have almost identical overall records and are both coming into this matchup in terrible form, as they are 1-7 and 1-4 in their last eight and five games, respectively. The Rangers have been terrible at home, with just five wins this season, but still, I see no value on either side. Both offenses have been struggling mightily lately, and they average just 5.66 goals per game combined this season. — Nikos Lagouretos, PickDawgz
"Ottawa has finally broken a four-game losing streak with a 2-1 win last night over the Vancouver Canucks. They now hit the road for their second game in as many nights, but I believe this win will go a long way. With lots of off-ice drama distracting the team, this win should feel like a weight off their shoulders as they look to prove outside noise wrong. Meanwhile, the Rangers have lost four straight games, but have yet to show some life like their opponents .... We are siding with Ottawa." — Tyler Mortimer, Pickswise
"With the compressed schedule due to the Olympic break, having the ability to roll four lines will help teams (like the Senators), and having an experienced fourth line is an added benefit. There was a definite sense of relief at seeing the losing streak come to an end, but it won't mean much if another one gets started." — Lisa Wallace, CTV News
