The Carolina Hurricanes look to break a long losing streak as they face the Ottawa Senators. It is time to continue our NHL odds series with a Hurricanes-Senators prediction, pick, and how to watch.

The Hurricanes enter the game sitting at 14-12-1 on the year, but it has been a struggle as of late. They have lost five of their last six and the last four straight games. Last time out, they faced the Vancouver Canucks. They found themselves down 1-0 on a Sam Lafferty goal in the first period, then down 2-0 early in the second period. The Hurricanes would score twice in the period, including a power play goal by Brady Skeji, but would be down 3-2 after two. In the third, Stefan Nosen tied the game just 2:10 into the period, but less than 90 seconds later, the Canucks had the lead again, and they would hold on to win 4-3.

Meanwhile, the Senators are 11-10-0 on the year. They have been playing well as of late, winning three of their last four games. Last time out, they faced the Detroit Red Wings. Claude Giroux scored on the power play to give the Senators a lead, but in the first, Patrick Kane would score his first goal as a member of the Red Wings to tie it up. In the second, the Senators took off. Then, in the third, they added an empty net goal to win 5-1.

Final Hurricanes-Senators Prediction & Pick

Carolina has lost four straight and struggled in the process. The major issue for Carolina has been their goaltending situation. Meanwhile, the Ottawa goaltending duo has been solid. While Ottawa does have some areas of struggle, such as the penalty kill, they are not areas in which Carolina will be able to take advantage. Right now, Ottawa is creating more chances in the offensive zone, and capitalizing more. They get the win at home in this one.
