Both teams come into tonight reeling, but the Senators are better suited to snap their skid.
NHL
The Vancouver Canucks take a seven-game losing streak into the Canadian Tire Centre to take on the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday, January 13, and I’m anticipating the win drought to extend to eight games tonight.
My Canucks vs. Senators predictions and NHL picks expect Ottawa to pull away from Vancouver to snap its four-game slide.
Canucks vs Senators best bet: Senators -1.5 (+114)
The Vancouver Canucks have dropped seven straight and allowed four or more goals in six of those games, including 21 across their past four.
This is a must-win spot for the Ottawa Senators, and the reeling Canucks are playing in a back-to-back road spot and for the third time on the highway in four nights.
Ottawa also has flashy underlying 5-on-5 numbers, ranking fifth in Corsi For percentage and fourth in expected goals percentage, while Vancouver checks in 20th and 26th, respectively.
Add the injuries up the middle for the Canucks, and this game is being served on a silver platter for the Sens.
Drake Batherson continues to put up high-end offensive numbers and has marked the scoresheet in 10 of his past 16 games for 16 points. His 3.21 points per 60 minutes are 20th in the league among skaters with at least 700 minutes, and as noted, the Canucks have been a defensive disaster during their seven-game skid.
Turning to Sens defenseman Thomas Chabot, he’s third on the team with 61 shot attempts through 11 games since returning from injury, and he’s logged a healthy 22:27 of ice time per night. The Canucks just allowed 41 shots to the Montreal Canadiens on Monday night.
The Vancouver Canucks have failed to cover the puck line in five of their past seven games. Find more NHL betting trends for Canucks vs. Senators.
