Senators vs Red Wings Prediction

For a moneyline bet, I’m backing the Senators to secure a victory over the Red Wings on the road. With the moneyline currently set at -129, I’m locking in my bet on the Senators straight-up.

If you’re looking for my recommendation on the puck line, I suggest taking the Red Wings to cover. Even if the Senators manage to win outright, this game is expected to remain competitive, and the Red Wings should cover the puck line.

With an over/under line sitting at 6 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
