Ducks vs Senators Pick

Money Line Pick For Ducks vs Senators

  • Ducks (+140) (4 units)

This will be a great game between two teams fighting for playoff positioning. The Senators look to step up on their home ice but the Ducks look to bounce back from a rough loss and take over this game from the first period. The Ducks, who average 3.25 goals per game, should pile on the goals with Cutter Gauthier, Leo Carlsson, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone while creating open shots with quick passes. The Ducks should limit the Senators offense with Jackson LaCombe, Jacob Trouba, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Lukas Dostal to make plenty of big saves. The Ducks should win the game and provide great odds in the process as road Underdogs.

Take the Ducks money line as road Underdogs.

Over/Under Pick For Ducks vs Senators

  • Over 6.5 (5 Units)

Both teams are led by their offenses, and this game looks to be a high-scoring one from the opening puck drop. The Senators, who average 3.33 goals per game, should constantly find the back of the net against the Ducks, who allow 3.51 goals per game, with Tim Stutzle, Drake Batherson, and the rest of the forward unit controlling the puck in the offensive zone while creating open shots with quick passes. The Ducks, who have scored 19 goals in their last five games, should run up the score against the Senators, who allow 3.14 goals per game, with Cutter Gauthier, Leo Carlsson, Beckett Sennecke, and the rest of the forward unit establishing a strong offensive zone presence and creating open shots with effective puck movement as Jackson LaCombe picks apart the Senators from the point. The Over should cover in a high-scoring game with both offenses stepping up.

Take the Over on 6.5 goals.
