Ottawa Senators vs Anaheim Ducks prediction
The Ottawa Senators have been the better team this season, but the gap isn’t massive. The Senators have also been awful on the road this season, where they’re 8-17-1. The Anaheim Ducks have won 2 of their last 3 games where the offense showed life, and they blasted the Senators a few weeks ago, 5-1. The Ducks have won 5 of the last 6 meetings overall against the Senators. The bottom line is the Senators and Ducks are below average teams. The difference here is we’re getting the Ducks at home with the more favorable price. Give me the Ducks and the plus money, as I’m not laying juice with the Senators on the road.
