The Senators are coming into this game with a 10-11-1 record this season and they have won their last 2 straight games. They are coming off of a 4-3 win over the Sharks in their last game and also beat the Flames 4-3 prior to that, but these 2 wins also snapped a 5 game losing streak they were on. Their defense has allowed at least 3 goals in 7 straight games and this has been a problem for them all season. They are going up against a Kings team that is 13-8-3 this season and has been playing well in their recent games. They have won their last 2 straight as well as 3 of their last 4 games and their defense has been great in these. They have allowed 1 goal or less in 3 of their last 4 games and they have been much better at home recently as well. They have won their last 2 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 games at home and they have allowed 1 goal or less in their last 4 straight there, allowing 2 goals or less in all 5 of those. The Kings have been playing very well at home and will be able to shut down this Senators offense with the great defense they have been playing recently. Defense has been a struggle for the Sens all season so the Kings will not have too much trouble finding the net here, and the last time these two met at the start of the season, the Kings scored 7 goals in Ottawa in an 8-7 loss. This is going to be a revenge spot for them at home and that was a game they took multiple leads in, but the Sens would never die. Now the Kings have been playing much better with the better defense recently and they will get their revenge here. The Kings will win this game at home.
