Ottawa's Drake Batherson has four points in as many games versus the Ducks in his career.
The Sens were rolling earlier in February with big wins over the Leafs, Lightning, Stars and Golden Knights while keeping things close with the Panthers as well. They looked to finally piece things together but it quickly soured as the Sens have lost four straight since their Vegas win and have seen equally disappointing losses like giving up six goals to a Capitals team on the decline and losing to a Coyotes team that had lost their previous 14 straight games.
Ottawa will look to bounce back against a Ducks team that has struggled to find consistency and have spent a majority of their season near the bottom of the league because of it. They’ve allowed the third-most goals per game since the start of February with a 4.09 average that only trails the Sharks and Coyotes. It should be a tight matchup however, as the Ducks have won five of their last seven matchups against the Sens with six of the seven games going under in goals.
It should make for an exciting matchup that will have hockey fans on the edge of their seat and hockey betters sweating as they watch on for a lucrative payoff in this thrilling game. If you want to get in on all the action, here's a breakdown of the matchups with some insights for potential betting opportunities that could win you some cash. We are on a 9-4 run as of late as we hope to keep it going on Hump Day.

Pick: Drake Batherson over 0.5 points (-125)
The Ducks allow a lot of goals which means that should create some scoring chances for winger Drake Batherson. The Fort Wayne native has been decent for the Sens this season with four goals and seven points in his last 12 games.
His history is limited to just four games against the Ducks but in those games he’s scored a goal and has four points. He will also see additional chances to score while playing with scoring threat Tim Stutzle and veteran Claude Giroux, who have a combined six goals and 20 points over their last 12 games.
