Result:
WIN

Ottawa took a 2-1 lead with a win on Monday. They are now clearly in control after winning one in New Jersey. While lower seeded, the Senators are the better team right now. New Jersey's Martin Brodeur gets the accolades but Ottawa's Ray Emery is playing better right now. He's posted two straight home shutouts and stopped 25 shots in Monday's game. And, at home, he's been every bit as good as Brodeur this season. The Senators are leading all playoff teams in power play conversion at 24%. They are scoring 3.4 and allowing just 2.1 goals per game. Winning teams instilled as an underdog that are revening a shutout loss win only about 27% of the time in the NHL. We like the Senators to get the win here.
