The Carolina Hurricanes carry a 2-0 series lead into the Canadian Tire Centre for Game 3 against the Ottawa Senators on Thursday, April 23.<\/p>\n

My Hurricanes vs. Senators predictions and NHL picks<\/a> are backing Ottawa to respond on home ice in Game 3, fueled by another strong performance from Linus Ullmark.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Added prediction for who will win.<\/p>\n

Hurricanes vs Senators Game 3 prediction
\nWho will win Hurricanes vs Senators Game 3?<\/p>\n

Ottawa Senators: The Senators went 9-1-1 on home ice with an elite 58.1% expected goals percentage at 5-on-5 to close out the regular season. So, with Ullmark playing at an elite level, I like Ottawa pulling out the victory on home ice Thursday.<\/p>\n

Hurricanes vs Senators best bet: Linus Ullmark Over 25.5 saves (-130)<\/p>\n

Ottawa Senators<\/a> No. 1 Linus Ullmark<\/a> has a .917 SV% with 12.34 goals saved above expected across his past 11 starts.<\/p>\n

The Carolina Hurricanes<\/a> have peppered him with 29.24 shots per 60 minutes, and considering they finished the regular season ranked\u00a0second in shots per game (31.5) and first in Corsi For percentage at 5-on-5 on the highway, I\u2019m confident Ullmark will see the necessary rubber to clear this number.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also important to highlight Carolina finished second in long-range shots, and it’s also attempted 70.5 shots per 60 at 5-on-5 against the Sens to start the series.<\/p>\n

The Senators went 9-1-1 on home ice to close out the regular season and allowed the fourth-fewest expected goals per 60 minutes at 5-on-5 for the year, so with Ullmark also in top form, I expect the Sens to lead the way in keeping this total Under the number.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The final leg of this same-game parlay turns to Ottawa defenseman\u00a0Thomas Chabot<\/a>. He\u2019s turned his 12 shot attempts into just two shots through the first two games of the series. Count on a better conversion rate tonight from the blueliner.<\/p>\n

Senators moneyline
\nUnder 5.5
\nThomas Chabot Over 1.5 shots<\/p>\n

Hurricanes vs Senators Game 3 goal scorer pick
\nTim Stutzle (+195)<\/p>\n

I think there\u2019s a bit of a disconnect between the underlying numbers for Sens star Tim Stutzle<\/a> and how dangerous he\u2019s actually been on the ice.<\/p>\n

While he\u2019s generated just 0.86 individual expected goals on six shots and four individual high-danger scoring chances during the series, he\u2019s done everything but find the back of the net with multiple missed Grade-A chances in both games.<\/p>\n

Stutzle finally capitalizes with a goal in Game 3.<\/p>\n

Hurricanes vs Senators odds for Game 3<\/p>\n

Moneyline: Hurricanes -105 | Senators -115
\nPuck Line: Hurricanes +1.5 (-245) | Senators -1.5 (+200)
\nOver\/Under: Over 5.5 (-125) | Under 5.5 (+105)<\/p>\n
