Game Totals Pick
Over 6.0(-115)

The Detroit Red Wings and Ottawa Senators are set for their first meeting of the season on Monday night. The Red Wings have gone cold offensively, managing to score just 11 total goals over their last 5 games. However, Dylan Larkin and company could be in for a better night offensively in this one. The Detroit power play is operating at a strong 24.8% clip this season, which is good for 6th in the NHL. Ottawa’s penalty killing unit has struggled all season long, as their kill percentage of 72.6% is second-to-last in the NHL. Furthermore, Ottawa goaltenders Linus Ullmark and Leevi Merilainen has combined for a lowly .879 save percentage on the season. Look for the Red Wings to take advantage of Ottawa’s defensive and goaltending woes.

The Senators rank in the top-10 of the NHL scoring 3.25 goals per game. Their power play has also been elite, ranking 5th with a 25% conversion rate. Detroit is allowing plenty of Grade A scoring chances on a nightly basis, and consistent goaltending has been hard to come by. All in all, both offensive attacks seem to have the advantage in this one. Look to the over.
