The Boston Bruins start their next road trip as they visit the Ottawa Senators. It is time to continue our NHL odds series with a Bruins-Senators prediction, pick, and how-to-watch.

The Bruins head into a Wednesday night game with the Carolina Hurricanes sitting at 29-8-9 on the year, which is good for first in the Atlantic division. For many teams, this is a disadvantage, but the Bruins have managed well in those games, going 3-2-2. Part of that could be their goaltending tandem has led them to the fourth-best goals-against average and third-best save percentage in the NHL this year.

Meanwhile, the Senators are 18-24-1 on the year but are coming off another win. The Senators scored in the first period shorthanded on a goal from Ridly Greig. They would then add another goal less than 45 seconds later to lead 2-0, as Jake Sanderson has his seventh of the year. They would add another in the second period as well, this time on Shane Pinto's first of the year. The Canadiens would get a goal back on Jonathan Kovacevic's sixth of the year, but after the empty net goal for the Senators, it would end as a 4-1 Senators win.

The Senators are tenth in the NHL this year with 3.40 goals per game on the season.  They are led in goals by Brady Tkachuk. He comes in with 19 goals on the year and 18 assists. That gives him 37 total points on the year, which is good for third on the team this year. He has also been good on the power play, with five goals and three assists this year.

Joonas Korpisalo is expected to be in goal for this one. He is 10-15-1 on the year with a 3.47 goals-against average and a .889 save percentage. Korpisalo is coming in off three straight solid games. He has allowed two or fewer goals in each of his last three games, with a save percentage higher than .910 in each of them. This has led to a 2-0-1 record in those games. Last time out, he saved 24 and 25 shots against Montreal to grab the win. It was also his third-highest save percentage of the season.

Final Bruins-Senators Prediction & Pick

The Senators have shown they can win games. They are coming off a 4-1 win, and have won four of their last six. The major issue is them having complete breakdowns in one area of the game or another. In their last seven losses, they have three games in which they managed just one goal. In the other four games, they allowed five or more goals. With how solid the Boston defense is, this could easily be a game in which they do not score more than a goal. Further, with how solid the Boston offense is, it could be a game in which they give up five or more goals. Regardless, this will be a loss for the Senators.
