Nashville Predators win

ChatGPT prediction for Nashville Predators vs Ottawa Senators, 23 January 2026.
Ottawa arrives with the better offense and a 24%+ power play, but the loss of Linus Ullmark hands a major game-to-game swing to their goaltending stability. Nashville’s season numbers (‑28 goal differential, shaky defense) look ugly on paper, yet the Predators have shown bounce-back wins at home and a model noted here favors them on the puck line (+1.5) in a tight contest.
The market offers value: Nashville at 2.43, Ottawa at 2.50, draw 4.20. With Ottawa’s backup in net and Nashville’s home resilience, I expect a low-scoring, one-goal margin. Backing the Predators for a straight win captures better payout relative to the matchup risk.

Gemini tip
Ottawa Senators win

Gemini prediction for Nashville Predators vs Ottawa Senators, 23 January 2026.
This NHL matchup presents an intriguing betting opportunity. While the Nashville Predators are at home, their recent form is concerning, coupled with a 4.57 goal differential and struggling offense (23rd) and defense (28th). The Ottawa Senators, on the other hand, boast a potent offense ranked 12th in the league and a formidable power-play converting over 24% of their chances. Although Ottawa will be without their starting goaltender Linus Ullmark, the broader market generally still favors them, with some bookmakers listing them at 1.88. This makes the provided odds of 2.50 for the Senators an exceptional value play. Their superior offensive firepower should be enough to overcome the backup goalie situation and exploit Nashville's defensive vulnerabilities. Expect a tight contest, as forecasters predict a low-scoring game, but Ottawa's offensive edge gives them the decisive advantage to secure the win.
Claude tip
Ottawa Senators win
1.89
Claude prediction for Nashville Predators vs Ottawa Senators, 23 January 2026.
Ottawa enters this matchup as slight favorites despite being on the road, and for good reason. The Senators' 12th-ranked offense (160 goals) gives them a clear advantage over Nashville's struggling 23rd-ranked attack (138 goals). Both teams have defensive issues, with Nashville particularly vulnerable, sporting a concerning -28 goal differential.
The Predators' recent form raises red flags, dropping consecutive games to Buffalo and Vegas. While they showed flashes with wins over quality opponents earlier, consistency remains elusive. Ottawa's power-play efficiency (over 24%) should be the difference-maker against Nashville's porous defense.
The absence of Ullmark for Ottawa is concerning, but Nashville's overall defensive struggles and goal differential suggest they'll have trouble containing the Senators' offensive weapons. At 2.50 for Ottawa, there's solid value on the away team to capitalize on Nashville's defensive weaknesses and secure a road victory.

Grok tip

Grok prediction for Nashville Predators vs Ottawa Senators, 23 January 2026.
The Nashville Predators host the Ottawa Senators in a pivotal NHL matchup at Bridgestone Arena, where both teams are scrapping for positioning in a crowded playoff race. Ottawa enters as the slight favorite with a 1.88 moneyline, but their goaltending takes a hit without Linus Ullmark, who's sidelined for personal reasons. That forces a backup netminder into a high-stakes spot against a Predators squad hungry to snap a two-game skid after tough losses to Buffalo and Vegas.
Nashville's home-ice edge could prove decisive in what experts are calling a low-scoring battle, with projections under 6.5 goals given both teams' middling offenses—Ottawa at 12th with 160 tallies, Preds lagging at 23rd with 138. The Senators' elite 24% power play is a weapon, but their 27th-ranked defense leaves them vulnerable, especially on the road. Meanwhile, the Preds' resilience shines through recent wins over Colorado and Edmonton, and a +1.5 puck line nod suggests they keep it tight.
With Ottawa's 2.50 underdog value tempting but risky sans their starter, I'm eyeing the Predators at 2.43 for a profitable $1 wager. Expect a gritty, one-goal thriller where Nashville grinds out the W.

DeepSeek prediction for Nashville Predators vs Ottawa Senators, 23 January 2026.
The Nashville Predators welcome the Ottawa Senators to Bridgestone Arena, with moneyline odds offering Nashville at 2.43, Ottawa at 2.50, and a Draw at 4.20.
Ottawa's elite power-play and offensive firepower are highlighted, but their 27th-ranked defense faces a major setback with goaltender Linus Ullmark out, thrusting a backup into the net.
Nashville, despite recent stumbles and defensive woes, has proven resilient at home with key wins, and the Senators' goaltending void presents a prime opportunity.
Considering the odds value and Ottawa's vulnerability without Ullmark, backing the Predators at 2.43 is a sharp bet in a projected low-scoring, tight contest.

Qwen prediction for Nashville Predators vs Ottawa Senators, 23 January 2026.
The Ottawa Senators enter this matchup as slight favorites, and for good reason. Despite their defensive struggles, the Senators boast a potent offense with a power-play conversion rate of over 24%, one of the best in the league. Nashville, on the other hand, has been inconsistent, particularly on defense where they rank 28th in the league. The Predators' recent losses to Buffalo and Vegas add to their woes, and the absence of Adam Wilsby due to a lower-body injury could further impact their performance. Adding to the challenge for Nashville, Ottawa's backup goaltender might be more than capable given the Predators' offensive struggles. With the Senators' superior offensive capabilities and the Predators' defensive issues, Ottawa is poised to secure the victory.
However, it's worth noting that some models favor a close game, suggesting Nashville might keep it tight, possibly losing by just one goal. This makes the Senators a strong bet, but with a slight risk of a narrow margin. Given the odds, placing a $1 bet on the Ottawa Senators at 2.50 offers a solid value and a good chance to profit.
