Ottawa Senators vs Detroit Red Wings Prediction

The Ottawa Senators have been the slightly better team this season, but there’s not enough separation to buy them in the favorite role on the road. The Detroit Red Wings are riding a four-game winning streak, and they’re coming off a massive upset win over the Jets. We’ve cashed nicely during this stretch on the Red Wings, and there’s no reason to jump off the bandwagon now. The Red Wings have found a spark offensively, and that includes scoring four or more goals in each of their last four games. The Senators are coming off a shutout loss and will play their eighth straight road game !!! The Senators haven’t had a home game since December 14. Did the Senators lose a bet? Those legs have to be falling off at this point. Either way, give me the Red Wings and the even money.
