Detroit Red Wings vs Ottawa Senators Prediction & Picks

On October 06, 2026 our model has run Ottawa Senators at Detroit Red Wings and priced every market it can. Our strongest call is Ottawa Senators To Win (-110), which we rate lean confidence. Every bet below is our own number against the price on the board, in plain English.

Every bet we like in this game

Detroit Red Wings vs Ottawa Senators: Ottawa Senators To Win (-110)

Odds correct at time of publishing

The odds for the Ottawa Senators to win are set at -110, which makes this a pretty even matchup against the Detroit Red Wings. Both teams have been struggling lately, with Detroit winning only 3 out of their last 10 games and Ottawa managing just 2 wins in the same stretch. The Senators have more players who shoot left, which could give them better chances against the Red Wings' defense. However, it's worth noting that 16 players on the Red Wings' roster haven't even played ten games, which might affect their overall performance. This game is likely to be close, so while I like the Senators, there's no guarantee they'll come out on top.

Detroit Red Wings vs Ottawa Senators: Detroit Red Wings 2nd Period Moneyline (-112)

Odds correct at time of publishing

The odds for the Detroit Red Wings to win the second period are looking pretty decent at -112. Both teams have struggled recently, with the Red Wings winning just 3 of their last 10 games and the Senators only managing 2 wins in the same stretch. Playing at home in Little Caesars Arena could give the Red Wings a little boost. Their shooters are well-balanced, with a strong mix of left and right shooters. The Senators have also had a tough time finding their rhythm lately, which makes it hard to trust them. The biggest risk here is that both teams are underperforming, so it could go either way.

Detroit Red Wings vs Ottawa Senators: Detroit Red Wings 3-Way Moneyline (+150)

Odds correct at time of publishing

Betting on the Detroit Red Wings at +150 looks like a solid choice. They may not have the best record lately, with only 3 wins in their last 10 games, but they're playing at home. Little Caesars Arena can give them a boost, especially against a struggling Ottawa Senators team that has won just 2 of their last 10 games. Our numbers suggest the Red Wings are underdogs with a real shot at winning. Keep in mind, Ottawa has some good shooters, so they could make things tricky for Detroit. Still, this bet is worth a look!

Detroit Red Wings vs Ottawa Senators: Viktor Arvidsson Under 2.5 Shots on Goal (+115)

Odds correct at time of publishing

For this bet to hit, Viktor Arvidsson needs to have fewer than 3 shots on goal against the Ottawa Senators tonight. Both teams have been struggling lately, and Arvidsson has not been a big shooter recently. The Senators, like the Red Wings, have also had a tough time finding the net, which could mean fewer chances for Arvidsson. The matchup is tight, making it a bit risky, as both teams play defensively. Plus, the game is at home for the Red Wings, which sometimes brings out better performances, but it's still hard to predict how many shots he'll actually get. With both teams not scoring a lot and Arvidsson's recent form, this bet feels like a solid choice.

Detroit Red Wings vs Ottawa Senators: Thomas Chabot Under 1.5 Shots on Goal (+146)

Odds correct at time of publishing

Thomas Chabot has been struggling to find his shot lately, and the numbers back this up. With the Ottawa Senators winning only 2 of their last 10 games, it's been a tough stretch for him and the team. The Detroit Red Wings are also having a rough time, winning just 3 of their last 10, so both teams may not be firing on all cylinders. Betting on Chabot to have under 1.5 shots on goal seems like a solid choice here. With both teams lacking in goal-scoring lately, it could be a low-action game. The biggest risk is that sometimes players step up when needed, but given Chabot's current form, this bet has a real shot to hit.

Detroit Red Wings vs Ottawa Senators: Jordan Spence Over 1.5 Points (+1300)

Odds correct at time of publishing

Betting on Jordan Spence to score over 1.5 points at +1300 looks interesting for this game. Both the Detroit Red Wings and Ottawa Senators have struggled lately, with the Wings winning just 3 of their last 10 and the Senators only 2. This means both teams might be desperate to find some offensive spark, giving Spence a chance to shine. The game is at Little Caesars Arena, which can be a lively spot for scoring. While it's a long shot, Spence has a chance to step up with the pressure on. The biggest risk comes from how close the teams are in form, making this a tricky matchup.

That is the whole read on this one. Prices can move before you get on, so check the board at your bookmaker. Bet what you can afford to lose. If betting stops being fun, take a break.
