Detroit at Ottawa

Where has the offense gone? Detroit has flamed out on offense, losing six of seven, scoring one goal in four of the last six contests. The Red Wings are on a 4-0-1 run UNDER the total. The team has been held to 12 goals during a 1-5-1 stretch. At least the defense has been keeping them in games, allowing three goals or less in five straight. These teams just played last night, a 3-1 Ottawa win at Detroit, and the UNDER is 11-1-4 after the Red Wings score two goals or less in their previous game. Detroit now heads out on the road, where they are 2-0-2 UNDER, as well as 21-8-5 UNDER when their opponent allows two goals or less in their previous game. They face an Ottawa squad that is 20th in goals allowed with bottom 10 specialty units. The Senators won the game last night, but have not exactly been on a winning tear, on a 3-5 run. The Senators are on a 1-5 run at home and 0-4 playing on no days rest. Ottawa is also 6-1 UNDER the total playing on no days rest. This shapes up as a slow-paced game after both faced each other last night, and note that the UNDER is 3-1-1 when they clash. Also, grab the visiting dog as the road team is 7-2, and the Red Wings are 5-1 in the last six meetings in Ottawa. Play Detroit and the UNDER.
