Final Predators-Senators Prediction & Pick

This game is going to come down to goaltending. Joonas Korpiasalo has had some solid starts this month but has struggled heavily as of late. If he continues to struggle, this could be a blowout. Further, while the Senators have the better offense, their defense struggles a lot. The Predators have been the better team this year overall, and while they are in a slight slump, they will rebound from that in this one.
