The Ottawa Senators bring their impressive four-game winning streak to the Scotiabank Saddledome as they face off against the Calgary Flames in what promises to be an intriguing Thursday night matchup.
The Senators have been nearly impenetrable defensively, allowing just three goals total during their current win streak, while maintaining a potent offense that averages 3.10 goals per game.
Calgary, despite holding a solid 11-4-2 home record, has struggled recently with just three wins in their last ten games and finds themselves grappling with offensive production, averaging only 2.63 goals per game.
The contrast in momentum couldn't be starker, with Ottawa winning seven of their last ten games while the Flames have dropped seven of their previous ten contests.
Recent history favors the visitors, as the Senators have won six of their last ten meetings against the Flames, including their most recent encounter.
With Ottawa's Tim Stutzle and Drake Batherson leading their offensive charge against Calgary's stalwart home defense, this NHL prediction shapes up to be a fascinating battle between two teams heading in opposite directions.
