Penguins vs Senators predictions
Heading into the upcoming face-off at Sudbury Community Arena, the Pittsburgh Penguins are looking to turn their luck around, and all eyes are on Jesse Puljujarvi to make a significant impact. Having netted three goals already, his aggressive forward play is something the Ottawa defense will need to keenly watch. With Tristan Broz also showing promise by distributing a couple of assists, their combo could stir some trouble for the Senators if they find their rhythm early in the game.
On the flip side, the Ottawa Senators have a few aces up their sleeve as well. Cole Reinhardt, having racked up two goals and a total of four points, appears ready to lead from the front. Additionally, with Jan Jenik showcasing his knack for setting up plays with three assists, there's a good chance we will see some dynamic attacks aimed at piercing the Pittsburgh defense, especially considering how they've struggled on the road so far.
Considering both team's previous performances and standout players, the Senators seem to have the upper hand with a more consistent early season form and the advantage of playing in a supportive environment. Pittsburgh has potential game changers in their lineup, but Ottawa’s ability to capitalize on home ice could very well tilt the scale in their favor. It should be a tightly contested match, but my nod goes to the Senators pulling off a win, given their current momentum and team cohesion. What do you think, could Pittsburgh throw a curveball and upset the odds?
