Matt’s Analysis:

Tough body-clock time for the Ducks, who are without their most physical blueliner in suspended Radko Gudas. Could open up the ice a bit for the Senators. They need two points much more. Ottawa had a seven-game points streak snapped Wednesday. Since January 28, the Senators have posted a 2.15 GAA — the best mark in the NHL in that span. Anaheim netminder Lukas Dostal doesn’t like matinees, apparently, as he’s 0-2-1 with a 3.65 GAA in them this season. Dostal has been rather shaky out of the Olympic break as well. Ottawa has won the past two in the series.
