Next Monday night will bring an important challenge for the Ottawa Senators, as they will face the Detroit Red Wings at 06:30 pm CST in a game that could make the difference between remaining competitive or falling to the bottom of the Eastern Conference’s standings. In this matter, it’s worth noting that the contest will be the first game of the regular season series between these teams, so the Senators should try to take advantage of playing at home.
Additionally, it cannot be ignored that the Ottawa Senators won their last two games, during which they scored four goals per game. However, their offense wasn’t persistent in their 4-2 victory over the Winnipeg Jets, as they shot less than ten times on goal per period. Despite this, their defense showed a great blocking performance, having in Jake Sanderson the player who blocked the most shots for the Senators in the referred game (4).
Meanwhile, the Detroit Red Wings are currently having a terrible performance, as they lost their last two games, which were played against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Nevertheless, they still are one point behind the top spot of the Eastern Conference, so this game should be taken as a fantastic opportunity to recover. With that goal in mind, the Red Wings’ focus should be on improving their defense, as they are the second worst defense in the Eastern Conference.
