Continuing with the Senshot Predicts series, are the Senshot writers, with their predictions for the outcome of tonights Senators @ Canucks game. Senshot’s newest writer, Trevor is joining the team and will start the prediction panel in last place.. sorry Trevor.

Trevor Shackles (4-10)

4-2 Vancouver. Since I live in Vancouver, I’ll be going to this game. I’ve only seen Ottawa win here once, which came in the Heritage Classic. They rarely play their best on the West coast, and Vancouver’s on a role. I’ll be shocked if Ottawa gets the win.

Zachary Prenner (5-9)

Ottawa’s coming off a game where they gave up three one goal leads, against the Leafs no less. Vancouver on the other hand has won 7 of their past 9 games and are just one point back of the Anaheim Ducks for first in their division. I’m hoping for a big Sens rebound tonight, but my hockey gut is telling me it isn’t in the cards. Vancouver’s goaltending and offensive prowess is going to be the difference. Van takes it 3-1

Josh Chenoweth (6-8)

Sens lose 4-2 to Vancouver. The Canucks have been one of the surprises of the season, while we’ve begun to see Ottawa struggle somewhat with a 4-3-3 record over the last 10 games. Ottawa needs to cut down on shots against consistently, as expecting Anderson and Lehner to steal them nearly every game is simply unreasonable.

Jack Leiper (6-8)

Send are in a Skid. Vancouver is hot. Ryan Miller has steadied things for VAN and so has Radim Vrbata. Ottawa’s scoring is still working, but I’ll say Vancouver takes this one. 

Vancouver

Charlie Arseneault (7-7)

If you’re on Twitter, you’ve  probably seen that Bobby Ryan has pledged $1000 to Sens Money on the Board for every goal Kyle Turris scores. Safe to say Turris scores a hat trick tonight. Sens win.

Travis Valois (7-7)

The Senators need a win after the two straight losses at home. Vancouver is a great team. This game will come down to goaltending. I am looking for the Senators to have a strong performance from Anderson and to pull out the win.

Eldrinson Vado (7-7)

Tonight marks the first of three games on the road for the Ottawa Senators. The west coast Canadian trip should be handled well by the Ottawa Senators, but as we all know from last year that wasn’t a huge success. I’m predicting the Ottawa Senators to take at least five points from the trip. Starting with a win tonight in Vancouver. I’m saying 3-2 Senators.
