The Carolina Hurricanes can punch their ticket to Round 2 with a Game 4 win over the Ottawa Senators at the Canadian Tire Centre on Saturday, April 25.
While this has been the tightest, most defense-driven series of Round 1, my latest Hurricanes vs. Senators predictions and NHL picks expect a shift in tone, with both offenses starting to come alive.
- UPDATE: Added prediction for who will win & goal scorer pick.
Hurricanes vs Senators Game 4 prediction
Who will win Hurricanes vs Senators Game 4?
Carolina Hurricanes: Ottawa No. 1 defenseman Jake Sanderson (concussion) joining partner Artem Zub (undisclosed) in the press box for Game 4 is a massive blow, and the Sens were already limited to just three goals all series and haven’t held a lead once.
With the Hurricanes also generating an eye-popping 59.8% of the expected goals to this point, Carolina will cruise to Round 2.
Hurricanes vs Senators best bet: Over 5.5 (-115)
Despite combining for 23.72 expected goals and 81 high-danger scoring chances, the Carolina Hurricanes and Ottawa Senators have totaled just 10 goals across the first three games of the series.
Hurricanes starter Frederik Andersen sports a .964 save percentage for the series, and Sens No. 1 Linus Ullmark checks in at .933, so statistical correction will be rearing its ugly head due to the unsustainable play of both goalies.
This is also an elimination game, so we could see an early goalie pull if Ottawa is trailing late in the third period, and the Sens haven’t had a lead all series long.

Hurricanes vs Senators Game 4 same-game parlay
Ottawa defenseman Thomas Chabot is set to log huge minutes in Game 4, including quarterbacking the No. 1 power-play unit. It’s a role he’s familiar with, and with the season on the line, I’m anticipating the longest-standing Senator stuffing the stat sheet.
Chabot has already picked up five shots on 19 attempts while blocking eight shots in the series, in addition to being on the ice for a team-high 5.24 expected goals.

Hurricanes vs Senators Game 4 goal scorer pick
Andrei Svechnikov (+180)
Carolina winger Andrei Svechnikov leads the series in individual expected goals (2.06) without finding the back of the net, and he’s also racked up an impressive 15 shots, 24 attempts, and five high-danger scoring chances.
The 26-year-old Russian sports 27 career playoff goals, including eight across 15 games last spring.
