Senators Glide into Anaheim: A Battle at the Honda Center

As the Ottawa Senators prepare to face off against the Anaheim Ducks at the Honda Center on March 7th, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent performance trend. The Senators have shown resilience and skill in their past games, which could be a significant factor in this upcoming clash.

In their last three games, the Senators have demonstrated a strong offensive presence. They secured a victory against the Golden Knights with a final score of 4-3 after a shootout, showcasing their ability to perform under pressure. Their shooting percentage stood at nine percent while they won an impressive 61 percent of faceoffs.


The team's performance was even more dominant against the Dallas Stars, where they emerged victorious with four goals to one. The Senators' shooting accuracy improved to thirteen percent and they maintained their faceoff win rate at 61 percent. This game also highlighted Ottawa's defensive capabilities as they blocked twenty-five shots.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for Ottawa; they faced a narrow defeat in overtime against the Florida Panthers with two goals to three. Despite this setback, there were positives to take away from that game as well – such as winning fifty-six percent of faceoffs and blocking twenty-nine shots.


The upcoming game will test whether Ottawa can maintain these statistical trends away from home ice. Playing at Honda Center may present challenges but based on recent performances; it seems that Senators are up for any challenge.

Fans can catch all the action live on ESPN+ or BSW when these two teams hit the ice on March 7th at 03:00 AM UTC (March 6th, local time). With both teams looking to assert dominance early in March, this is surely an encounter not to be missed by hockey enthusiasts.
