Anaheim +201 over Ottawa

7:07 PM ET. OT included. The Senators are trying to sell hope and optimism, but hope doesn’t pay the bills and optimism doesn’t change the standings. Ottawa is stuck in neutral, at best. For all the chatter about “heading in the right direction” and “building something,” the reality is that the Senators are a middling team with more question marks than answers. A seventh straight year of missing the playoffs is far from out of the question, yet here they are, priced like a reliable favorite against a live underdog.

Ottawa’s Achilles heel is consistency—or rather, the complete lack thereof. The Senators have had four chances to string together three wins and failed each time. Most recently, they squandered a tight game against the Islanders, despite the typical postgame quotes about “deserving better.” Even in the matchup against these same Ducks earlier this month, Ottawa couldn’t close the deal, ultimately falling in a shootout. At some point, the results matter more than the process.

Enter the Ducks, who the market undervalues. Anaheim’s resilience on the road is evident; they’ve taken points in tough spots, and their effort in Montreal on Monday night was emblematic of their identity—a disciplined, opportunistic squad capable of grinding out results, even if they don’t always get the win. Regardless, the Ducks are priced like a pushover but they are not and we’ll gladly take back the inflated price on them. Quack, quack.
