Anaheim at Ottawa

Premium Pick

Anaheim has never won a road game in the Stanley Cup Finals and we don't think this is their first. As you know from our last pick and writeup we liked Ottawa at home, despite losing the first two. We liked them with Pronger on the ice and now the Ducks' best defender will be missing from this game. We like the Senators that much more here. This amounts to another must-win for Ottawa as they will either tie up the series 2-2 or drop down to 3-1. This is a golden opportunity that a team like this rarely passes up. After scoring 2 goals total in the first two games, we saw the explosive Ottawa offense last game as they exploded for 5 goals. Tonight we expect a similar great performance from a team that averaged 3.4 goals per game on the season. Even against great defenses in the playoffs they are averaging 3.1 per game. Ottawa to even it up here.
