An away game vs Carolina is a ridiculously hard matchup for any defensemen. The Canes have not only allowed the fewest shots both this year and last year, but they have been even harder to shoot against if you're an opposing defenseman. Opposing D have only had 76% of their regular shots against Carolina this season, and 75% last season.

I’d love to see this Ottawa Senators hockey club come take my money today. I don’t see it.
