Senators vs Capitals Betting Prediction
The game is one-sided with both teams experiencing completely different results in the last few games. Ottawa have not played well away from home and have also struggled against Washington historically. They have a poor offense and an inconsistent defense further puts them in a difficult situation.
On the other hand, the Capitals have played well and very strong at home. They have a strong offense, coupled with strong defense, they are in a great position to win this game.
