The Anaheim Ducks have won seven of their last nine matchups against the Ottawa Senators
Wednesday has a very limited slate with just two games on the slate but both should excite all fans with the Rangers desperately looking for a win when they travel to the Nickel City to take on the Sabres while the Senators battle the Ducks in a crucial game with both teams looking to get back in the win column. It should be a great night of action and we look to improve on some of our recent hot streaks like our 30-20 record on game total and team unders this season.

Bet: Ducks Senators Under 6.5 goals (-135), Ducks +1.5 (-130)
We love underdogs and have all season with a 11-7 record and the Ducks are a stellar 18-8-0 against the spread. Anaheim has lost three straight but have won four of their last six road games and they should keep things close with the added jolt of a new key addition to the team in defenceman Jacob Trouba.
The former Rangers captain should massively help the Ducks backend after ranking third in blocked shots with 448 over the past three seasons. He can hopefully add to a Ducks defence that is has the third-best road goals against average at 2.36 this season with a 5-3-3 record.
Anaheim has a winning history in this matchup with seven wins in their last nine matchups against Ottawa but will need to stifle their killer home offence that is averaging 3.47 goals per game in Canadian Tire Centre.
This has led to a lengthy trend of high-scoring games when playing the Sens are at home but as of late they've seen some great defensive performances with three straight games going under seven goals.
