Pittsburgh Penguins vs Ottawa Senators Prediction: The Penguins are in great form at home

Prediction for the NHL Pittsburgh Penguins vs Ottawa Senators match will occur on January 12. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Pittsburgh Penguins

Pittsburgh is still struggling for stability. Mike Sullivan has an older squad, and that has its pros and cons. Either way, the Penguins are not failing this season but can do better. They are one step away from the Wild Card - they are ninth in the Eastern Conference standings with 44 points. In 2025, Pittsburgh began a run of four consecutive defeats, but the day before, they finally got their fans back on track with a 5-3 win over Edmonton.

Ottawa Senators

The Senators are well below the Penguins in the Eastern Conference standings, in 12th place. But they only have three points fewer (41) and three games in hand. And things would be even better if recent personnel problems hadn't affected the results of Travis Green's wards. Many hockey players are in the infirmary, hence the six losses in the last seven games. The day before, Ottawa lost 4-0 at Buffalo.

Expert Betting Tips

Bookmakers are giving Ottawa the edge in the upcoming clash. We are not in a hurry to write off Pittsburgh, who picked up a crucial win over Edmonton the other day that could be a turning point. The Penguins are also in great form at home, having won eight of their last ten games. On the other hand, the Senators have been in poor form, losing six of their last seven.
