Ottawa comes off a 4-3 loss at Los Angeles with Mike Condon making 34 saves in a losing effort, but defenseman Cody Ceci thinks the Senators are headed in the right direction, San Jose beat Carolina 5-4 in overtime on Thursday coming back from a three-goal deficit. Brent Burns scored the game-winner against the Hurricanes. The Senators have won five of the last six meetings and Craig Anderson should be back in goal and he has a 3.01 goals-against average. Ottawa is 4-1 the last five meetings at San Jose and the Sharks are 1-4 their last four contests against the Atlantic Division. There is value with the underdog, so play the Senators.
