Senators vs. Jets Prediction

I’m going to take a shot on the Senators here. The Senators are almost out of playoff contention, but you wouldn’t know it considering the run they’ve been on as of late. Winnipeg on the other hand, is almost safely in, but they’re backpedalling into the playoffs and the division title and even home ice in the first round seems to be slipping away and I think it’s almost time they just focus on getting back on track. Either way, I think the value’s too good to pass on here so give me Ottawa and the plus money.
