Rangers vs Senators Key Stats
New York have failed to make the most of their opportunities and their offense has failed to provide consistent results. Not enough contributions from the players have proved costly for them, with only a few players having more than a goal contribution per game so far this season. Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider have to improve their output.
Their defense has given solid performances by keeping it tight at the back, but has failed to do so in their last few games. It puts them under a big concern ahead of the crucial game and they need to address it to have a better defensive side going forward this season.
Ottawa have scored over 3 goals per game with contributions coming from Brady Tkachuk and Claude Giroux. Both have kept the team's offense alive with 47 goal involvements in between. They will be very crucial for the team in this game.
Their defense has failed to provide enough for positive results, conceding over 71 goals conceded in 21 games. Having said that, the defense has improved in the last few games and the team will look for the same kind of returns in the future.
Rangers vs Senators Betting Prediction
New York have failed to perform in the last couple of games with defensive loopholes fully exposed, so they are on the backfoot before this game. Having poor away and head-to-head record puts them further down in this contest.
Ottawa will look to benefit from the home conditions and having scored better in the last few outings, gives them momentum. They are better placed to keep it a close game and defend it well to get a win.
Prediction: Take, Ottawa, ML(+110)
