Ottawa Senators vs Anaheim Ducks : Anaheim Ducks +1.5 (-185)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
Here comes the Ducks, gliding into Saturday's matchup with an impressive 3-2 record from their last 5 games on the road. The Senators, on the other hand, have been struggling to find their rhythm at home, posting a less-than-inspiring 2-3 record across their last five. Looking deeper, Ottawa's offense has been sputtering, only managing an average of 0.8 goals per game at home. Meanwhile, Anaheim's defense has been solid, allowing only 3 goals per game on average. In a game of hockey where goals are hard-earned, this advantage could prove crucial. Couple this with Ottawa's inability to capitalize on power play opportunities, averaging just 0.2 PPgoals, and you've got a recipe for a Ducks victory. Lay the 1.5 on the Anaheim Ducks, folks, they're ready to make a splash.
