Senators vs Golden Knights: Do the Senators stand any chance against the Golden Knights?

The top team in the Western Conference will host the bottom team from the East on Sunday night at T-Mobile Arena in Vegas. The defending NHL champions will close a four-game home span before going on a four-game road trip. Ottawa is in the middle of a five-game road trip, looking for their first win.

The Golden Knights have the best record in the NHL

The Golden Knights (20-6-5) have the best record in the league. They saw their four-game winning streak snapped with a 5-2 home loss to the Buffalo Sabres in their last game. That was the first regulation loss for Vegas in their last 10 games. The Golden Knights are third in the league, allowing 2.48 goals per game and having a 92.1 save percentage.

Another disappointing season for the Senators

The Senators (11-14-0) have the worst record in the Eastern Conference and the fourth-worst in the league, meaning that they will probably miss the Playoffs for the eighth straight year. They have lost the last three games, allowing at least four goals in each of those, and are going to Vegas after a 5-4 loss to the Dallas Stars. They are ninth in the league with 3.36 goals per game, which is pretty solid, but allowing 3.32 goals per game shows that they need to improve their defense.

Betting Trends

Vegas has won the last 8 games against Ottawa. Six of those were won in regulation, and five by at least two goals differential. The Golden Knights scored four goals per game in the last five against the Senators. Ottawa has only one win against Vegas since the Golden Knights joined the league in 2017.

Ottawa will have a tough time scoring

The Golden Knights’ Adin Hill is the best goalie in the league at the moment. He allows 1.87 goals per game and has a 93.5 save percentage, ranking first in the league in both categories. Brady Tkachuk is the Senators’ top scorer with 13 goals so far in the season, but he has failed to hit the net in the last five games.

Injury Reports

Thomas Chabot is out for the Senators, while the Golden Knights will miss Shea Theodore and Alec Martinez.

Prediction and Conclusion

The Golden Knights are major favorites going into this game. They have the best record in the league and will add another win before they go on a road trip. The Senators are at the bottom of the conference for a reason, and winning on the road against the defending champions is not possible at the moment. The Golden Knights will have full control of the game and cover the 1.5 goal spread.
