Preview
Ottawa visits Honda Center for an 8 p.m. ET puck drop after road games at Vegas, Los Angeles and San Jose, per ESPN's last-five log. The Senators are 9-5-1 and 4-3-1 on the road, and the Ducks are 5-7-1 with a 1-4-1 home mark, per ESPN. Ottawa won 5-1 at San Jose last time out. Anaheim has lost four of its last five, including a 7-6 loss to Buffalo and a 6-5 overtime loss to Vancouver at home, per ESPN's last-five log.
Key factors
Both teams are banged up. ESPN lists Ottawa goalie Linus Ullmark (lower body) on injured reserve, along with Andre Burakovsky and Warren Foegele. Anaheim has Troy Terry (hip), Ian Moore and Ryan Poehling on injured reserve. The Ducks' special teams cut both ways: their power play is converting 28.6% to Ottawa's 12.9%, but their penalty kill sits at 75.0%, per ESPN team stats. The bigger gap is in their own end, where Anaheim allows 3.85 goals a game to Ottawa's 3.00. Tim Stutzle leads Ottawa with 9 goals and 21 points, and Leo Carlsson leads Anaheim with 18 points, with Beckett Sennecke at 8 goals, per ESPN. The Ducks' last two games had 11 and 13 total goals. DraftKings via ESPN had OTT -118 and ANA -102 with a 6.5 total at last check.
The pick
Our morning card leans Ottawa on the moneyline at -118, and the price hasn't moved. The case: the better team by record, against a Ducks club that has struggled at home and keeps giving up goals in bunches. The risk is Anaheim's power play, which is converting more than twice as often as Ottawa's, plus a Senators team still without Ullmark in net. A lean, not a lock.

How to read a pick
The bold line is the bet in plain words. The ticket line under it is the number from the source, when the source had one.
- Spread
- The points a team gets or gives. "Eagles win by 4+" is the same idea as PHI -3.5: that team has to win by 4 or more. A plus number means the team can lose by fewer than that, or win.
- Moneyline
- Who wins the game. No point spread. The price, like BOS -155, only says how short or long that win was on the snapshot.
- Over/under
- The total. Add both sides together. Over 2.5 goals means 3 or more. Under 2.5 means 2 or fewer.
- Parlay
- Two or more bets tied together. Every part has to hit, or the whole ticket loses. This board does not build a parlay for you.
- Lean, Like, Love
- Lean is a small edge. Like is a clearer read. Love is the strongest call on the board. No pick means we are not calling a side.
