Senators vs Devils prediction

Senators vs Devils best bet: Drake Batherson Over 0.5 points (-130)

Drake Batherson has points in 69% of his games vs. teams outside the Top-10 in goal suppression and eight of nine when playing in the latter half of back-to-backs.

He’s in a favorable spot to keep the production train chugging along. The likes of Luke Hughes, Brett Pesce, and Jacob Markstrom are sidelined with injuries, and backup Jake Allen got the nod in goal Saturday.

That means Batherson will face New Jersey Devils third-stringer Nico Daws, who owns an .891 save percentage in the AHL. Look for him to capitalize.

Senators vs Devils same-game parlay

Brady Tkachuk has a tremendous track record against the Devils, picking up at least one point in eight of the last nine meetings. The Ottawa Senators captain has also averaged 1.7 points per game through 10 back-to-backs this season. Expect him to lead by example in another big game for his team.

The Senators have played tremendous hockey for months, and they’re starting to get healthy, with top blueliners Jake Sanderson and Thomas Chabot recently returning.

They should take care of business against a banged-up Devils team starting a third-stringer with underwhelming AHL numbers.
