Senators vs. Capitals Prediction: Monday, March 3rd

I’m sure both of these teams had other plans in mind as the 2nd half of the season began but here, we are with the Capitals having lost 3 of 4 games and the Senators having lost 2 out of 3! 

The lack of offense has been the issue on both sides as the visiting Sens have just 8 goals over 3 games and the Capitals have just 4 during their 3-game win streak. I definitely think higher of the offenses but maybe not tonight as you look at their over/under records on the splits.

Ottawa has gone under the total more than any road team this season at a record of 19-10-2 and that has been driven by their 4th lowest mark in the NHL of goals per game at 2.35! Hard to see them turning that around against a goalie like Logan Thompson and the Capitals who allow just 2.71 goals per game at home. 

On the Capitals side they are close to 50/50 on totals at home this season but given their recent scoring drought I give the edge to the under as the Senators can be a stingy road team as well. Give me the under at much better odds than expected tonight!
