Anaheim Ducks vs Ottawa Senators

Anaheim has lost three of four and scored two or fewer goals in the three losses, including a 2-1 defeat against Los Angeles on Friday when the Ducks had a 31-18 edge in shots. The Ducks are 12-52 their past 64 games as home underdogs and Ottawa has won five in a row playing on no rest. The Senators had a two-game win streak snapped in a 5-2 loss to the Kings last night, but they should have Linus Ullmark back in net tonight after Anton Forsberg allowed four goals against Los Angeles. Anaheim is expected to start Lukas Dostal, who is 5-7-2 on the season. The Ducks have won only four of 12 home games. Take the Senators.

Ottawa looks for payback after losing 5-1 to the Ducks on Feb. 15, and the Senators are in Anaheim where the Ducks own the worst home record in the NHL winning just nine of 31. The Senators have the schedule advantage as they have had three days off since their 4-2 loss at Philadelphia on Saturday, and Anaheim is playing its fourth game in six days. The Ducks lost 2-1 to Vancouver at home on Sunday for their fourth loss in six games. Beleaguered Ducks goalie John Gibson is suffering through yet another year with little help on the offensive side. Gibson is 13-20-2 with a 3.14 goals-against average, and the Ducks average only 2.64 goals per game. Anaheim has lost 40 of 53 home games dating to last season. Take the Senators as a Max Play. 

Ottawa has won four in a row after defeating Columbus 6-3 on Tuesday when Brady Tkachuk recorded a hat trick and Anton Forsberg had 37 saves for the Senators. Joonas Korpisalo is likely back in net for this game and he has won his past two starts while stopping 55 of 60 shots. Anaheim is 9-47 its past 56 games as an underdog of +151 to +200 and the Ducks have won only 11 of 59 on the road against opponents with winning home records. The Ducks have lost two in a row and six of nine and they come off a 5-0 loss at Montreal. Anaheim goalie John Gibson is 10-19-1 with a 3.04 goals-against average. Ottawa has gone OVER four of its past five games overall and four of five against teams that allowed at least five goals their previous game. Anaheim is 4-1-1 OVER its past six versus teams with winning home records. Take the Senators as a Max Play, and bet this one to sail OVER the total.
