The Senators visit Honda Center as slight 52% favorites against a skidding Ducks side, but I believe there's massive value on the visitors in my Senators vs. Ducks prediction for Sunday, Nov. 1.
The Ducks are mired in a 1-6-1 skid and will turn to third-string goaltender Laurent Brossoit, who has made just one NHL appearance in the last two and a half years, while the Senators have scored 5+ goals in three of their last four games.
Read the full analysis below, including my top pick, a combo and two player props, and find more winners in my NHL picks.
TOP PICK
Senators vs Ducks prediction: Senators moneyline
I'm on the Sens tonight up to 58%.
The Anaheim Ducks are in the midst of a brutal 1-6-1 skid, and it's no surprise when you look at their defensive metrics.
The Ducks sit second-last in goals against per game (3.85), third-last in expected goals against per 60 (3.76), and fifth-last in high-danger chances against per 60 (14.14).
The Ducks will also turn to third-string goaltender Laurent Brossoit, who has made just one NHL appearance in the last two and a half years due to meniscus and hip surgeries.
A rusty Brossoit won't be able to stop an Ottawa Senators attack that has scored 5+ goals in three of its last four outings.
COVERS INTEL: Since the start of their 1-6-1 run, the Ducks rank 29th in goals-for percentage (40.32%) and last in goals against per game (4.63).
Senators vs Ducks combo
Tim Stutzle is at the heart of the Senators' offense with two consecutive multi-point outings and at least one point in 12 of 15 games this season.
Stutzle carries a hot stick, ranking first on the Senators in goals above expected (3.9) and second in points per 60 (3.84). If anyone's going to have a big night against the porous Ducks, it's him.
The Senators have cashed the Over in four of their last six, while the Ducks have done so in four consecutive contests, with 9+ total goals in each of their last three games.
The Ducks' penalty kill is a dismal 67.6%, and they also lead the NHL in times shorthanded per game (4.25) since the start of their 1-6-1 run. The Senators have enough talent to take advantage on the power play, which could help them run up the score.
Senators vs Ducks combo
- Tim Stutzle Over 1.5 points
- Senators moneyline
- Over 6.5
Senators vs Ducks player prop: Tim Stutzle Over 0.5 assists
Stutzle has recorded four helpers over his last two games and has at least one assist in 10 of 15 contests this season.
Among Senators skaters with at least 100 minutes played, Stutzle ranks third in 5-on-5 expected goals percentage (55.06%) and third in on-ice shooting percentage (15.91%), a testament to his ability to create dangerous chances.
Stutzle will carve through a poor Ducks defense and pick up at least one assist tonight.
Senators vs Ducks goal scorer: Drake Batherson
Drake Batherson has found the back of the net in consecutive games and is just four games removed from a hat trick against the Rangers.
Batherson paces the Sens in shots (36) and ranks second in individual expected goals (5.69) as well as high-danger chances (19).
With 3+ shots in five of his last seven games and a rusty goalie in the Ducks' cage tonight, Batherson will tickle the twine once again.
