Red Wings vs Senators Prediction
This feels like two teams heading in different directions, as the Senators have caught fire over the last couple of weeks and have positioned themselves in the wild card race. The Red Wings have cooled off with losses in seven of their last 10 games and a defense that can’t get stops.
The Senators have won seven of the last 10 games against the Red Wings, which includes a 2-1 win a couple of weeks ago. With that said, this line is soft because the Red Wings still have a chance to get back in the thick of the playoff race with a win here. Just three points behind the Habs, the Red Wings can improve their playoff chances greatly with a win here. We’re getting slight plus money. I’ll take a shot with the Red Wings.
