Detroit vs Ottawa: prediction for the NHL game
The Red Wings go against the Senators in the NHL action on Friday evening. What to expect from this game? Look out for our prediction below.
Command Analysis
Detroit Red Wings
USADetroit are in 11th place in the Eastern Conference. They will hope to, at the very least, maintain this position until the end of the regular season, but sadly, the team's recent results leave much to be desired. The Red Wings are currently on a four-game losing streak. In the last three games, the Wings lost to Tampa (1:2 OT), were crushed by Pittsburgh (2:11) and failed to beat the Rangers (4:5 OT).
The Red Wings have many injuries in the team, including key players Fabbri and Greiss. Jeff Blashill's men experience great difficulties on the defensive and on average concede about four goals per game. The team also struggles to defend against power play and neutralizes only 72.1% of the opponent's chances.
Ottawa Senators
CanadaOttawa are second-to-last in the Eastern Conference table. In four of the last five games, the team suffered defeats. The Senators beat Winnipeg (5:2) away, but then lost to Florida (3:4 SO) and Nashville with a score of 1:4.
The Senators, like Detroit, are unreliable in defense and concede at least three goals per game on road trips. The top scorer for Ottawa is Brady Tkachuk, who has chalked up 47 points since the start of the season. But when it comes to defending against power play, the Senators are more confident than their opponents - they have a 80.1% success rate.
