Senators Aim to Stay Hot Against Slumping Predators
The Ottawa Senators are on a roll, lighting up the scoreboard and riding a four-game winning streak as they visit the Nashville Predators on Monday night. Meanwhile, the Predators are searching for answers after dropping three straight and struggling to find the back of the net.
Senators’ Offense on Fire
Ottawa (25-21-3) is scorching hot coming off a dominant four-game homestand, where they outscored opponents 16-6. Their latest performance—a 6-0 rout of the Minnesota Wild—showcased their offensive firepower, led by:
✅ Jake Sanderson: 1 goal, 3 assists in last game
✅ Tim Stützle: 7 points (2G, 5A) in last four games
✅ Brady Tkachuk & Drake Batherson: Combining for 8 points in the last two
The Senators’ special teams have also stepped up, with three power-play goals and four short-handed goals in the last three games.
“We know every game is big for us right now. We’ve just got to keep chipping away,”
-Stützle
Ottawa sits in playoff position for the first time in years and has gone 9-2-1 since Jan. 9. However, they’ll need to improve on the road, having lost their last two away games without scoring a goal.
Predators Struggling to Score
Nashville (23-22-4) has hit a rough patch, scoring just six goals in their last four games and failing to capitalize on their once-strong home ice advantage.
🔻 Filip Forsberg: No points in last three games
🔻 Steven Stamkos: Scoreless in last four
🔻 Juuse Saros (G): Three straight losses
After falling 3-0 to Pittsburgh on Saturday, Stamkos admitted, “We’ve got to try to get some mojo back and start feeling better about our game.”
Nashville’s goaltending has struggled, with Saros allowing 2.84 goals per game and Justus Annunen giving up nine goals in his last two outings.
