Nashville at Ottawa

The Ottawa Senators are off to a fast start at 5-2. The Predators, after opening with a pair of wins, have now gone winless in their last six. They opened by netting three goals in each of their first two games, but the net has gone silent since for the Predators who have not managed three in any of the last six and overall, have tallied just six in those six games. This is certainly not a recipe for winning hockey games as two of them have resulted in shutouts. The Predators don't seem to get offensively healthy vs. the Northeast where they have played seven straight UNDERS, and have also slipped under the total to a 21-10 mark against a winning team. Ottawa has obliged the UNDER against the Central in all of their last eight, and have finished UNDER the total to the tune of 37-13-3 after posting a win in their last game. It takes two teams to reach six, and neither here seems capable of much offensively the way this one sets up. I'm going with the UNDER here.
