Ottawa advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals by beating the New York Rangers in six games. Senators coach Guy Boucher believes that was good preparation for facing the Penguins, who also rely on speed, and the Senators will have to slow them down. Goalie Craig Anderson has a 2.49 goals-against average and .914 save percentage this postseason, which compares to 2.55 and .924 for Pittsburgh goalie Marc-Andre Fleury, who has filled in for Matt Murray. Erik Karlsson has 13 points in the playoffs and scored the game-winners in Games 1 and 6 against the Rangers. Ottawa won the last two meetings of the regular season and it has won 13 of its last 18 games when following a win. The Senators have been off since Tuesday and feel little pressure as they are the underdogs against the defending champions. Take the Senators on the puckline.
