Buffalo at Ottawa

It's been a crazy playoffs and you can look no further than this series as proof. The top-seeded Senators fell down 0-3 to Buffalo. Ottawa pulled out the must-win victory in game three and breathed some hope into their chances to advance. Their backs are again against the wall here. They know that if they can win this game, they are back in the series. All four games thus far have resulted in 1-goal victories as the battles are tightly contested. Buffalo is playing very well right now. During the playoffs they've managed 0.5 goals per game more than the regular season and 0.4 goals allowed fewer. Ottawa has underperformed in a big way this series, especially on offense. I expect them, back home off a win, in a must-win game, to return more to form. During the regular season they scored 3.9 goals per game and allowed 2.4 here at home. That's hard to ignore. Senators here.
