The Anaheim Ducks are set to play the Ottawa Senators in an NHL game on Monday.
Anaheim is another team who has struggled this season and could only win seven times so far this season. They come into this one with a big loss and are under pressure, as they are placed last in the Western Conference Atlantic Division with 17 points. They will be desperate for a win this one to kickstart a winning run and finish the league stage on a high.
Ottawa has not performed well this season and has lost games at regular intervals, which has put the team under a lot of pressure and trouble. They are placed last in the Eastern Conference Atlantic Division with 24 points and will hope for a win to move up in the standings.

Ducks vs Senators Key Stats
Anaheim have one of the most inconsistent offenses, which has severely impacted their season. Apart from Troy Terry, none of the other players have contributed enough this season and the team is very much dependent on him for scoring and will therefore play a crucial role in this game.
Their poor defense has pushed them down, conceding over four goals per game this season. They need big positive changes in their defensive setup to have better results going forward.
Ottawa's offense has given returns lately, scoring over three over goals per game on average this season. Players like Brady Tkachuk and Claude Giroux have led from the front, scoring over 10 goals and adding a lot of strength coming into the game.
Their defense has been rather weak, putting goaltenders under a lot of pressure. Even after having a save percentage of over 0.900, the goaltenders have failed to stop the flow of goals. As they need improvements in their defensive line, we can expect changes in the near future.
Ducks vs Senators Betting Prediction
Anaheim have not played well and their away record which puts them in a big problem in this game. They have not been consistent defensively and playing against a better offensive team should be discomforting for them.
While playing at home, Ottawa has an advantage and would like to make full use of it. Given that they have played well against a team with a poor winning percentage, they should be comfortable while facing Anaheim in this game.
Playing on a day's rest, Ottawa, with a better team, is likely to win this game by a good margin.
Prediction: Take, Ottawa, +1.5(-278)
