Ducks vs. Senators Prediction: Wednesday, December 11th

With just a two-game slate tonight I had to dig into the numbers and what I came up with was a pair of player props for this game tonight as the Ducks travel to Canada's capital to take on the Senators!

The home team tonight is one of the highest scoring teams in the NHL at home this season at 3.47 goals per game, which ranks 8th right now. They also pile on the shots with nearly 32 taken per game and that’s 4th most in the league! Expect the Senators to let it fly tonight especially when you factor in the Ducks trends.

Anaheim is not as bad of a team overall as I expected this season, but their total defense is severely lacking in many categories, most of all shots against per game. On the road this season the Ducks are allowing a whopping 34.9 shots per game, the 2nd most in the NHL and seeing as that trend is holding firm it gives way to a pair of props.

The first is John Gibson or Lukas Dostal to go over on their saves tonight. The Ducks haven’t announced their starter yet but both goalies have been good and are sure to face over 30 shots tonight.

The second prop is taking the over on Brady Tkachuk shots tonight. Tkachuk leads the Senators in shots with 4.33 shots on goal per game. His number is juiced up to 4.5 for shots but I am willing to make the risk given the matchup!
