This is the end of a three-game road trip for Ottawa. They've been playing some defense on this trip, allowing two goals in wins at Anaheim (2-1) and at the Kings (4-1). The offense is without center Matt Duchene (18 goals, 24 assists) for the entire trek. They run into a San Jose squad that is playing great defense, winning five in a row, allowing 11 goals. San Jose has a top-six penalty-killing unit and the Sharks are 23-10-4 UNDER the total against a team with a winning percentage below .400. Play the UNDER.
