Both teams are on four-game win streaks, but Ottawa is getting the huge value in this matchup and the Senators have allowed a total of only seven goals in the four games, including a 6-3 victory over Detroit last night. The Senators scored three power-play goals and two more short-handed and Cam Talbot stopped 29 shots. Anton Forsberg is likely in net today as Ottawa plays a back-to-back and it would be his first start since Dec. 8. The Senators have been playing well on the road recently with no regulation losses in six games. They will look to avenge a 4-2 loss to Minnesota in the first meeting this season and Ottawa has won five of seven versus Western Conference teams. Take the Senators.
