Ottawa at Florida

This is the seventh road game over the last nine contests for Ottawa, a team ranked #24 in the NHL in goals allowed and #27 in penalty killing. The Ottawa Senators are on a 2-4 run and have been limited to five goals in the four setbacks. Ottawa failed on five power-play chances Sunday and is 1-for-20 in the past five games. They face a hot Florida team off a 5-4 victory and the Senators are 17-35 when their opponent scores five goals or more in their previous game. The Florida Panthers are surging up the Eastern Conference standings on a 10-3 run. They are in the midst of a favorable portion of the schedule as they play the second contest of a six-game homestand. Florida is fifth in the NHL in goals scored and 20-8 at home against teams that don't have a winning road record. Take Florida.
