Ottawa Senators vs Detroit Red Wings Prediction
The Red Wings should have the edge at home with the rest advantage, but the Senators are playing their best hockey of the season and are a team I’m looking to milk until they run dry. The Senators have won 8 of their last 10 games, led by a defense that’s greatly improved. The Red Wings are in the thick of the playoff race but they’re in awful form and they can’t keep the puck out of the net. Even after playing last night, I’m on the Senators with the cheap price yet again.
