Ottawa is reeling right now having lost nine of their last 11 games and five straight. Over those five games, they have allowed an average of four goals per game. They also haven't notched a victory vs. Detroit this season in three tries. I think the pressure is on the Senators in this one and I like the line value on Detroit. While Ottawa has struggled mightily on defense of late, Detroit's offense has caught fire, averaging 3.4 goals per game over their last five games. Given that the Senators don't score much, this game could go either way. Throw in the fact that Ottawa is 7-12 this season at home vs. losing teams and we have a high-value play on the road squad. Take Detroit.
