Ottawa at Detroit

The Senators are coming on strong. They took care of the East's best team last game by dispatching of Washington 6-5. But that hard-fought emotional win may just hurt them here. Detroit is now at risk of missing the playoffs, so I expect a strong effort from them here. Injuries have hurt the Red Wings, but Johan Franzen appears to be back to form after missing 55 games with an ACL. Ottawa is 23-11 at home, but they are jsut 12-15 on the road, getting outscored on average by nearly a full goal per game. The Red Wings play great defense in this building and that should lead them to a win.
