Senators vs Blackhawks

The Ottawa Senators, led by captain Brady Tkachuk, are set to face the Chicago Blackhawks at the United Center. The Sens have been on a roll, winning their last three games, including a commanding 6-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres.

Given the Senators' momentum and the Blackhawks' defensive woes, a moneyline bet on Ottawa at -205 is a solid choice, earning a prediction grade of A-.
