This is a 6* BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Ottawa Senators.

REASONING: Sometimes keeping it simple is the best way to handicap a game and that's they approach we'll be taking with this matchup. The Canucks come to town tired after last night's disheartening 3-0 loss in Montreal and have now dropped five in a row. The Sens are rolling, 6-3-0 to start the season, which included a 3-0 win at Vancouver on October 25th. During Vancouver's losing streak, the team has mustered a paltry two goals. Ottawa comes in off a 2-1 OT win over the Hurricanes on Tuesday and has won three of its last four, thanks in large part to the stellar play of goaltender Craid Anderson, who has won his last three starts while stopping 91 of 92 shots. Canucks' goaltender Ryan Miller is 18-21-4 against Ottawa with a .919 save percentage. If Miller doesn't pull back-to-back duties, then back-up Jack Marksstrom will get the nod, note that he's 0-1 against the Sens, allowing four goals the only time he faced them. We think OTTAWA comes into this one focused and finds a way to get the job done at the end of the night.
