Drake Batherson has 44 points through 48 games and is pacing to clear 70 for the first time in his career.
My Golden Knights vs. Senators predictions expect him to find the scoresheet once again in what should be a high-event affair.

Let’s dive into my NHL picks for Sunday, January 25.
Golden Knights vs Senators prediction
Golden Knights vs Senators best bet: Drake Batherson Over 0.5 points (-135)
Drake Batherson sits second on the Ottawa Senators in points, trailing only Tim Stutzle. He’s recorded at least one in 60% of his games, and 67% when excluding matchups against Top-10 teams in goals against — which the Vegas Golden Knights are not.
They’ve given up 2.98 goals per game and not gotten many saves. Starter Adin Hill has missed a lot of time with injury and struggled when healthy, sporting an .871 SV% through eight appearances. Akira Schmid (.896 SV%) hasn’t fared a whole lot better.

Point being, the Senators’ offense — which has averaged 3.4 goals over the past 20 games — should cause problems for the Knights, and Batherson is likely to be at the forefront of that.
A lack of rest isn’t a concern either. Batherson has produced at a very high rate in back-to-backs this season, piling up nine points through seven games while working on zero days of rest.
The 27-year-old played VGK earlier this season and picked up a point while generating six shot attempts. I’d expect similar outputs this time around.
Golden Knights vs Senators same-game parlay
Tim Stutzle is thought of as a playmaker more than a finisher, but he leads the Senators in goals and has found the back of the net in four of the past five games he’s played when skating on the same line as Batherson.

Ottawa (3.40) and Vegas (3.85) have both averaged a ton of goals over their last 20 games. With the two sides struggling to get stops, the offenses should win out.
