Detroit goes for the season sweep against the Senators after winning the first three meetings. The Red Wings are fighting for their first playoff spot in a decade, and they likely will get Dylan Larkin back after he missed the past seven games due to an injury. That will be a much-needed boost both on the ice and mentally at a time when the Red Wings can sure use it. John Gibson will start, and he is 26-16-3 with a 2.54 goals-against average with four shutouts this season. He looks to bounce back from a 4-2 loss to Boston on Saturday when the Bruins scored three unanswered goals after being down 2-1 in the third period. Detroit has gone UNDER 10 of 15 games, and six of the past nine meetings have stayed UNDER. Ottawa is on a 6-2 UNDER run, and four of its past five road games have gone UNDER. Take the Red Wings to win, and bet the UNDER.
