Red Wings vs Senators prediction
Red Wings vs Senators best bet: Linus Ullmark Over 22.5 saves (-110)
Coming out of the Olympic break, this looks like a busy evening for Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark.
The Detroit Red Wings average 28.4 shots per game, while Ullmark has been strong at home, posting a .908 save percentage and a 2.37 GAA across 13 starts.
With both teams returning from a multi-week layoff, expect looser defense and a barrage of shots headed Ullmark’s way tonight.
