The Senators also have won eight of 10 against Atlantic Division teams and they are two points ahead of the Red Wings in the standings. Ottawa has held its own despite enduring a nine-game trip and it has split the first four games although it looks to rebound from a 4-0 loss to St. Louis on Friday. The Red Wings are just 2-7 their past nine division games and Ottawa is on three days rest. Anton Forsberg is expected to start for the Senators with Linus Ullmark out with a back injury. Alex Lyon is probable for Detroit. Take the Senators.
