The California trip helped save the season last year and this year it is a pretty bad division. I think the Senators lose in a shootout with our good friend Jacke scoring the deciding goal.

Despite their record, the Ducks are a ridiculously strong possession team. Although the Senators magic last season started in California last year, I don’t think they get off to a good start.

The Ducks can't score, the Sens can't score (lately), and it's a late game for most of the Sens fanbase. This one is going to the shootout!

Ah yes, the rematch of the 2006-07 Stanley Cup Fina- *Bursts into tears*

The Ducks just aren't the same Ducks that we've seen in previous years. The Sens will capitalize on a couple bad turnovers and come out on top in this one.

The Sens come out ready for the Ducks and build a big lead before hanging on late against a hard-charging Ducks squad.

Anaheim continues its futility by losing to the Sens a mere week after losing to the much worse Leafs

For some reason, the Ducks just really don't have it this year. Considering their division is terrible, they should still make the playoffs, but this game may not be as hard as it has been in years past.
