Ottawa Senators vs. Nashville Predators Pick & Prediction JANUARY 29th 2024

After a letdown on special teams, the Nashville Predators are looking to get all facets of their game in order when they visit the Ottawa Senators on Monday. The Predators are 1-3-0 in their last four games, including Saturday’s 4-1 loss to the red-hot Edmonton Oilers.

The Vegas Golden Knights will finish a four-game road trip with their final contest before a nine-day break when they take on the Detroit Red Wings in the second half of a back-to-back on Saturday night. One could argue the timing of the break and the All-Star Game couldn’t be coming at worse time for the defending Stanley Cup champions, especially reigning Conn Smythe Trophy winner Jonathan Marchessault. The Golden Knights improved to 5-0-1 over
