Senators vs Golden Knights predictions

As the Ottawa Senators gear up to face the Vegas Golden Knights, all eyes might be on Drake Batherson and Brady Tkachuk, two key figures who have been lighting up the scoreboard. Batherson, with his impressive tally of four goals so far, could very likely continue his scoring streak, especially if the Knights' defense gives him room to maneuver. Meanwhile, despite Brady Tkachuk being listed as day-to-day, if he hits the ice, expect some serious playmaking. His ability to find and exploit gaps in the defense could dramatically tilt the ice in Ottawa's favor.

On the flip side, the Vegas Golden Knights have their own aces. Ivan Barbashev and Mark Stone have been pivotal in their team's performance this season. Barbashev, leading with five goals, has a knack for being in the right place at the right time, making crucial plays when they matter the most. Then there’s Stone, not just a leader in assists but also overall points. His vision and precision could very well be the thorn in the Senators' side, setting up plays that lead to scoreboard changes.

Considering the momentum and home advantage, the Vegas Golden Knights might just have the upper edge in this matchup. Their impeccable home record speaks volumes, and with the crowd behind them at T-Mobile Arena, the energy levels will be through the roof. Although the Senators have shown they can hold their own, especially on the road, the cohesive and dynamic play of the Knights, led by Barbashev and Stone, might prove too formidable this time around.
