Ottawa doesn't play much defense at #24 in goals allowed, #25 in penalty killing. You need defense to contend on the road and the Senators come off a 4-1 loss at the NY Rangers last night. This is also a tired spot and the Senators are 0-4 in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation. The Senators were held to just one goal for the first time in 10 games and are 0 for 5 on the power play in their last two. Ottawa goalie Craig Anderson has lost three of his last four against Florida with a 2.54 goals against average. Florida is home, rested, and on a 5-1 run allowing just 10 goals in six games. Florida has won four of the last six in the series with one victory in overtime, so grab the rested team on home ice and play on Florida.
