Anaheim.
For me, it's easy to envision a scenario where a quality team like the Ducks wins consecutive games against a team icing Calle Jarnkrok, Colton Sissons, Frederick Gaudreau and Vern Fiddler down the middle. I know the Predators managed to win last game under the same circumstances but I'm not confident they'll do it again.
As for Ottawa, I think their run is over. I just can't see Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and co. going quiet for back-to-back games when a trip to the Stanley Cup Final is on the line.

I don't think either team is likely to come back down 3-2, but if I have to pick, I'll say the Ducks because the Senators are already playing so far above their heads they have to be happy just to be where they are.
The Ducks have a better team than the Senators so the odds of them coming back is much greater, but with an injured goalie it seems unlikely.
Somehow the Penguins are going to make it to the Cup with that defense, and despite the absence of Johansen, the Predators probably will too.

The feel good story of Ottawa has come to an end now, right? You don't recover from a 7-0 beat down in game five, right? Of course not. So Anaheim has the best chance of coming back.
Not so fast, the Ducks are banged up, back in Nashville and have no momentum. It could be a that they have a better chance based on their star power surviving compared to the Sens roster but they are not in an ideal situation either. To me it's a coin flip as I'm not sure either can do it but that coin favours the Ducks more times than not.
