Ottawa is obviously glad to be back home after its 7-0 blowout loss at Pittsburgh in Game 5. The Senators have won four of their last five home contests and five of their last seven overall after losing by three or more goals. Also, Ottawa usually has bounced back nicely from big losses as it is 11-5 after giving up five or more goals in its previous game. Pittsburgh has lost four of its last five following a win and the home team has won nine of the last 12 meetings. The Senators will try to get back to what made them successful so far in the playoffs by slowing down the Penguins and not get into a run and gun situation. Craig Anderson allowed four of the goals on Sunday after giving up only eight his previous five starts. Ottawa will come out focused in this elimination game, so pick the Senators.
