Game Preview

The Ottawa Senators will try to start another point streak when they host the Pacific Division-leading Anaheim Ducks this afternoon at Canadian Tire Centre. The Senators are coming off a 3-2 loss that snapped their previous streak, while the Ducks arrive with momentum from a 7-3-0 record in their past 10 contests.

Drake Batherson, who recorded a two-goal performance in Ottawa’s recent outing, will look to continue his offensive production against an Anaheim team that has scored 36 total goals in their last 10 games. The Senators enter as -160 home favorites, reflecting their strong play at Canadian Tire Centre where they’ve posted a 6-2-2 record in their last 10 games overall.

“For Sens to make NHL playoffs for the second consecutive season, goaltenders Linus [Ullmark] and [Joonas] Korpisalo need to step up in this stretch run,” noted the Ottawa Citizen, highlighting the importance of Ottawa’s costly crease performing down the stretch.
