The Ottawa Senators kick off a three-game road trip, with their first stop being in Detriot to take on a struggling Red Wings team.
After starting the season hot, Detriot finds themselves in a rut. They have lost their last three games, and worse than that, they have lost six of their previous eight.
The Red Wings aren't keeping games close, either. Only one L in this stretch didn't come in regulation, and their most recent loss was a 4 - 1 routing against the Minnesota Wild.
This team needs to figure things out quickly if they want to return to playoff positioning.

Senators vs. Red Wings Best Picks
The Red Wings will be playing with a fire underneath them for sure. They are on an embarrassing streak, but with the talent they have, they will be aiming to blow out Ottawa.
Detroit will have the home crowd behind them, and they will be looking to jump out in front early in this matchup. They will come out so strong, Ottawa won't know what to do with them, and the Red Wings should play from in front this entire game.

Senators vs. Red Wings Predictions
The Senators have quietly removed the tag of one of the worst teams in the league from themselves. They have won three in a row and five of their last seven. While they are not beating anyone impressive, wins are still wins, and they are almost out of the bottom ten in the league.
It is unfortunate that they play in the toughest division in the NHL, as they are still at the bottom of the Atlantic Division.
As great of a run as they have been on, it will come to an end tonight. Detriot has a much better team, and they desperately need a win. They'll come out firing and leave Detriot with a blowout win.
