Welcome to just another Sunday edition of NHL Predictions. If only it were that simple. For today’s edition, the Vegas Golden Knights<\/a> stop in for a date with the Ottawa Senators<\/a>. Find out if Ottawa can somehow find a way to prevail, or if Vegas flexes their muscles that make them a Western Conference powerhouse.<\/p>\n

Seeing Vegas come to town always makes us reminiscent of when Mark Stone<\/a> wore the ‘A’ in Ottawa. He was a stud then, and he is a stud now, and deserving of his Team Canada<\/a> nod.<\/p>\n

Checking In On Vegas<\/h3>\n

We realize that Stone has had more than his share of injury problems throughout his career. However, in 2025-26, when he has laced them up, he has been on fire. It seems he has been motivated to show he is more than worthy of his Canadian Olympic roster selection. In 34 games played, he already has 20 goals and up to 52 points.<\/p>\n

Along with Stone, one of his common linemates, Jack Eichel<\/a> is likewise having a statement season. Eichel leads Vegas in scoring, with nearly an assist a game. In 43 games, he has 42 assists and 61 points.<\/p>\n

Vegas will look to apply a second dagger, following a big win against the Toronto Maple Leafs<\/a> on Friday night.<\/p>\n

How About them Sens?<\/h3>\n

Let’s be honest, Ottawa did battle hard last night. But in the end, it wasn’t to be. As the season drags along in the nation’s capital, it feels as though the Stanley Cup Playoffs are trending in a similar direction as the game last night, it jus<\/em>t wasn’t to be. Furthermore, to add more to the weight the Sens are feeling, they have the hardest schedule to finish the season. The winning percentage of their remaining competition is a scary .588. If you didn’t think they were in one, they are, in, one.<\/p>\n

#Sens<\/a> have recalled Mads Sogaard from their AHL affiliate in Belleville. There is a storm heading through Eastern Canada and the U.S. tomorrow. With back-to-back games, they need to have a goalie available in case someone gets injured.<\/p>\n
