Ottawa is taking advantage of its first postseason in three years and won four of the last five games in its series against Boston, which included four overtime games of which the Senators won three. Clarke MacArthur scored a power-play goal in overtime for the game-winner on Sunday and Craig Anderson made 28 saves for the Senators who have won 10 of their last 14 following a win. New York hasn't played since Saturday when it clinched against Montreal, but that might not be a good thing for the Rangers who are just 3-10 their last 13 games when playing with at least three days of rest. Ottawa won three of the last four meetings and the home team has won four of the last five games between the teams. Anderson has a 2.28 goals-against average and has won seven of his last nine starts. Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist has a 2.74 GAA and .910 save percentage. The edge goes to Ottawa in this matchup, so play the Senators.
