Detroit at Ottawa

You need good defense on the road, and Detroit has it under their new coach; 12th in goals allowed and eighth in killing penalties. The Red Wings are 4-1 against the Eastern Conference and just got star offensive force Pavel Datsyuk back. He is two goals shy of 300 for his career. Detroit had its highest offensive output of the season in a 5-3 win earlier in the season over the Senators, a team ranked 24th in goals allowed and 29th in penalty killing. The Senators have one of the league's worst penalty killing percentages at 73.8 and have given up three goals on Detroit's eight power plays. Ottawa is on a 3-7 run at home, 2-5 against the East. Detroit has recorded six wins in its past seven visits to Ottawa, plus the road team is 4-0 in the last four meetings. Play Detroit.
