Ducks vs. Senators Prediction

I’m on the Senators here. The Ducks just can’t seem to get out of their own way and as much as I’ve been burned by them I have to admit the Senators are playing really well out of the all-star break and still play their best hockey at home this season. I just don’t see the Ducks all of a sudden turning their fortunes around on the road and I think Ottawa gets the job done at home in this one. Give me the Senators here.
