T.M. Selection: Hurricanes/Senators UNDER.

I am on the under in the Carolina Hurricanes vs Ottawa Senators game on Thursday. The Hurricanes have had 4 games in a row go over the posted total and I think that run is coming to an end in this game. The Hurricanes didn't impress in their most recent game, they won 4-3 in OT at home over a Vegas team that has been beaten up with injuries and covid. They just played a game at home, now they are travelling up to Canada for just this 1 game and then they are going right back home for their next game after. Canada has some very strict covid restrictions for these teams travelling there and a few NHL players have already come out and voiced their displeasure with playing in Canada now. I don't think the Hurricanes are going to be motivated for this game and I don't expect them to score a lot of goals here when Ottawa's defense has looked a lot better lately. The Sens have had 3 games in a row go under this posted total and their defense has looked a lot better. They just posted a shutout in their most recent game and they have given up just 1 goal in their previous 2 games. The Sens haven't been playing any tough teams though and I think they are going to have a much tougher time finding the net in this game against a much better team than what they have seen lately. I think this is going to be a game where both defenses shine and keep the game low scoring. The Sens aren't a very good team either so i don't really see the Hurricanes getting up for this game and playing hard against them on the road too. I like the under in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Hurricanes.
