Bruins vs. Senators Prediction

I’m on Ottawa here. Not my favorite bet on the board, but the Senators have been playing fairly well as of late and do their best work at home, while the Bruins have a quick turnaround from the loss to Carolina on Wednesday to try to pick themselves up here. All in all, I think there’s some value here that’s worth taking a shot on Ottawa.
