The Ottawa Senators will wrap up a three-game homestand on Sunday against the San Jose Sharks at Canadian Tire Centre.
The Senators started to pick up form last month and have carried it into March, going 4-1-0 across their last five games. They lost the first game of their current homestand 3-2 to the Montreal Canadiens, but rebounded on Saturday with a 2-0 victory over the Anaheim Ducks.
The Ducks have a high-octane offense, so keeping them off the scoreboard is no mean feat. Earlier this week, the Senators also neutralized the Vancouver Canucks, giving the team two shutouts in three games. Defensively, Ottawa has struggled for much of the season, but things have significantly improved ahead of the final stretch.
San Jose has also struggled to keep pucks out of its net, ranking 29th in the NHL with a 3.48 goals-against average. Yet the team remains in the playoff race, sitting just one point behind the Los Angeles Kings, who hold the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference.
The Sharks have done a superb job on offense to make up for their defensive shortcomings. They are averaging over three goals per game (3.08), with Macklin Celebrini breaking out this season as one of the best players in the league.

Our Ottawa Senators vs San Jose Sharks Prediction
San Jose’s games often tend to be back-and-forth affairs, but there appears to be a high potential for a low-scoring game on Sunday. Ottawa has looked rock-solid at the back in recent games, and while many have struggled to contain the youthful Sharks this season, Travis Green’s team limited them to just two goals in this season’s first meeting.
After the Olympic break, five of Ottawa’s eight games have had five or fewer goals, including each of the last three.
Our prediction for Ottawa Senators vs. San Jose Sharks: Under 6.0 goals.
