The Carolina Hurricanes took a 6-2 loss at New York Rangers on Tuesday, and if they expect an easy rebound game here Friday night they might come up disappointed.

The Ottawa Senators fell 5-4 when they hosted Carolina on January 6, but the Sens have won three of four games since including road wins at Anaheim and LA Kings. "We're building something, you can feel it," Senators coach Guy Boucher said after Wednesday night's 5-2 home victory against the Colorado Avalanche.

The Senators have been one of the worst teams in the league all year, but I expect them to keep this close and maybe even steal a win.

8* play on Ottawa Senators.
