The Ottawa Senators have long been billed as a team that wants to outscore their defensive deficiencies but some of that is changing under 1st year head coach Travis Green. Ottawa ranks 7th in expected goals against across all situations this season although that metric dips to 17th in their L5. However the emerging issue for Ottawa has been creating chances during their recent run of play. LA is the king of low event hockey; ranked #1 in expected goals against this season. The Kings' don't have an elite netminder in David Rittich but the defensive structure insulates him plenty. These teams played to an 8-7 game earlier this year...that ain't happening again here
