00:00We've got the Ducks going against the Senators up there in Ottawa.
00:06Anaheim got the biscuits in round one, kicking off early December there.
00:11What do we expect to see for this one?
00:13The odds makers have got them projected as a very short-priced favorite here.
00:17Is it all about the Senators going against the struggling Ducks?
00:20Yeah, I don't have a great feel for this matchup either way.
00:24I will say that Anaheim's goaltending with John Gibson back from injury and Lucas Dostal,
00:30who's been low-key one of the bigger surprises at the position across the NHL this season,
00:36through two months, the goaltending in Anaheim, any given game can spring an upset or something
00:42like that.
00:43And Ottawa, despite good shots on goal metrics, either of those goalies, Dostal or Gibson,
00:50can face a high shot volume and prevail any given night.
00:53Ottawa's one of those teams that, for whatever reason, good metrics, bad metrics, healthy
00:58lineup, not healthy lineup, they never seem to take that next step.
01:02So, verdict's still out on them a little bit.
01:06Certainly keep an eye on these Brady-Kachuk rumors and stuff like that the next couple
01:12of months, if Ottawa falls out of contention.
01:15But sounds like right now it's just noise going on involving the Rangers and some of
01:21the players around the league and the player movement that they've already made so far
01:25this season.
