Senators vs. Canucks Prediction
The over has been profitable in previous meetings between the Senators and Canucks, who will meet Monday night in Vancouver at 10:00 p.m. ET. That said, with the total sitting at 6 goals for tonight’s matchup, is the over still a safe play?

Brady Tkachuk was thrilled to score in Winnipeg Saturday. Tkachuk’s mom is from Winnipeg and his grandfather still lives there and although the two couldn’t meet up due to the coronavirus, it was still a thrill for Tkachuk. “We’ve got so many ties (to Winnipeg), of course my dad, but my mom being from here and my grandpa still being here,” Tkachuk said when asked by Postmedia what the goal meant to him. “I wish I could see him and it’s unfortunate with all the protocols and other rules that I can’t see him. It definitely would have been a lot nicer with my grandpa in the stands, but there’s a lot of ties here and I definitely would have loved to win because we used to come here once a year. I just wish I got to see my grandpa on this trip.” Tkachuk has four points in five games and the goal Saturday was his first point since opening night when he had a three-point game against Toronto. He is a must-start in your fantasy lineup.

Braden Holtby allowed four goals on just 32 shots in Saturday’s 5-2 loss against the Montreal Canadiens. Holtby slipped to 2-2-0 with a 3.70 goals-against average and .888 save percentage across his first four starts as a member of the Vancouver Canucks. He’ll be happy to see the Canadiens packing up and leaving town, as he coughed up nine total goals on just 68 shots in the back-to-back set with the Habs, winning a 6-5 game in a shootout and falling in his one. Next up for the Canucks is a three-game set with the Ottawa Senators starting Monday.
