Ottawa comes into this game on a four-game losing streak and they have scored a total of four goals in their last three games. The Senators are 5-4-1 at home this year, while the Canucks are 6-1-0 on the road. Vancouver has lost three of their last four games and they are dealing with a laundry list of injuries right now. I don’t love either team in this matchup, but I think we have to take Ottawa here, as Vancouver is missing a lot of production.
