Dallas at Ottawa

The Ottawa Senators have come back to earth. They elevated to a 7-2 mark over a nine game stretch, but have since fallen in three of their last four. They have now allowed five or more goals in four of their last six games averaging 4.2 a contest, easy to see why the win column is evading them. Dallas has been struggling some themselves, but remain a winning team and are catching Ottawa at the right time. The Senators, coming back off one day rest, are 7-22 in their last 29 and 2-5 in their last seven vs the West as well as 4-9 off a win. I'll back the Dallas Stars in this one.
