Nashville PredatorsThe match between Ottawa and Montreal can be considered a friendly one, as both teams have had a disappointing season and are not fighting for a playoff spot. However, Ottawa demonstrates a stronger game on their home ice, holding the 14th place in the conference, while Montreal is stuck at the bottom of the table. In head-to-head matchups, Ottawa has the advantage with a record of 3-0-2. Considering Ottawa's stronger home performance and Montreal's weaknesses, I predict Ottawa to win at odds of 1.93.
The Ottawa Senators have not played at home for a long time and probably want to please their fans. However, they have had a busy schedule of games, which may affect their performance. The Senators may not play as confidently, and their weak defense could succumb to the pressure from a strong opponent. The Montreal Canadiens have had much more noticeable success this season and have confidence in themselves. Controversial moments and mistakes from Ottawa could lead to a defeat. Most likely, Montreal will win 4-2, leaving the Senators without a victory on their home ice.
