4-3 Senators
GWG: Mike Hoffman
The Canucks are not playing great either and Ottawa will do just enough to pull this out thanks to big games from their top two lines.

2-0 Senators
GWG: Patrick Wiercioch
Hometown boys Turris + Wiercioch help Anderson and the Sens take this one against a Nucks team that isn’t really that good.

GWG: Mark Stone
When Mark Stone scores the game-winning goal tonight, remind yourselves that he was a healthy scratch just over a year ago. Enjoy the game!

4-3 Canucks
GWG: Radim Vrbata
The Canucks are hard to predict. They're old, so they could collapse at any point, but the older players still seem to be holding their own. I predict their strong veterans and youthful depth will be too much for Ottawa to handle.

Trevor
5-3 Canucks
GWG: Jared McCann
As a Senators fan in Vancouver, I know too well that the Canucks have had our number for years, even in Ottawa. Last year Ottawa was able to win on home ice, but every time they meet I expect a loss. McCann has been fantastic for them and I think he'll have a big game.
