In this Ducks vs Senators Prediction, the Senators are coming as -165 home favorites. The Senators have been the better team this season but they have been significantly weaker on the road. The Senators have also been weak at home and both teams are coming off defeats. I don’t trust either team in this matchup and both teams average 6.58 goals per game combined this season, while allowing 6.65 goals per game defensively, so I have to go with the over 6.5 goals in this one.
