With Anaheim's record it might be easy to think that this is an easier win than most, but that's also likely what teams like the Bruins, Hurricanes, Avalanche, Lightning, and the Devils thought before the Ducks beat them all at various times this season reminding them that this is the NHL and anyone can beat anyone on any given night.
Led by Frank Vatrano in the midst of a break out campaign with 22 goals and 38 points through 52 games, key to a Sens win tonight will be shutting him down.

As the Senators look to extend their longest win streak of the season they will need a disciplined game to contain this wiry Ducks team.
