Anaheim Ducks and Ottawa Senators Seek Turnaround in Struggling Seasons

The Ducks aim to end a home losing streak, while the Senators look to recover from recent defensive lapses in their first meeting this season.

The Anaheim Ducks, with a 9-10-3 record, are looking to snap a three-game home losing streak as they host the Ottawa Senators on Sunday evening.
The Ducks have shown defensive improvement recently, ranking 10th in goals against and maintaining a perfect penalty kill over their last six games.
The Ottawa Senators, at 10-12-1, are coming off a 5-2 loss to the Los Angeles Kings and need a strong performance to stay in playoff contention.
Key players to watch include Anaheim’s Troy Terry, who is on a three-game scoring streak, and Ottawa’s Tim Stützle, who leads his team with 28 points in 22 games.
Both teams are near the bottom of their divisions but remain within reach of the playoff mix, making consistent performance crucial moving forward.
