Ducks vs Senators Prediction
This line is rather surprising, as the Senators have comfortably been the better team up to this point. Yes, Ottawa is on the end of a back-to-back, but that’s not enough for me to change positions. The Ducks have lost seven of their last eight games and have a defense that’s 31st in goals against. The Ducks aren’t aggressive enough offensively to counter things, as they’re 29th in shots per game.
The Senators have four road wins while the Ducks have seen just one of their five wins this season come at home. Outside of the rest edge, I have no idea how we’re getting a pick em price in this matchup. Sometimes it’s good not to ask questions. Give me the Senators and the low price on the road.
