Ottawa Senators vs Detroit Red Wings prediction

The Ottawa Senators have won 8 of the last 10 games against the Red Wings, so it’s worth taking a look at the road dog. However, the Red Wings are playing comfortably the better hockey right now, and they’ve been the better team this season at both ends of the ice. In spots like this, I don’t really care about history. The Red Wings are playing the better hockey, and they’re at home. You could argue this should be a steeper price. Give me the Red Wings.
