Senators vs. Red Wings Prediction: Ottawa’s Fast Start Meets Goalie Uncertainty
Analysis updated October 6, 2026 at 7:09 AM CDT
The Senators have outscored their first two opponents 7-3, but the SPF moneyline does not offer a discount for their uncertain goaltending situation.
Ottawa’s early edge comes with risk
NHL.com reports that Ottawa is 2-0-0 with seven goals scored and three allowed, while Detroit enters at 0-2-0. That makes the Senators the likelier winner, but the SPF moneyline prices both teams at -110.
Ottawa beat Boston 4-1 on Monday as Tim Stutzle recorded two goals and an assist. The Senators must now finish a three-game road trip on consecutive nights, which makes backing them at -110 less appealing.
Ullmark’s status keeps this a pass
Linus Ullmark made 10 saves through two periods against Boston before leaving as a precaution after a crease collision. NHL.com reported that coach Travis Green expected Ullmark to be evaluated again, so Ottawa’s starting goalie remains unconfirmed.
The SPF total is 5.5, with the over at -135 and the under at +114. Without a confirmed goalie or broader scoring and lineup data, neither side of that market is supported. Ottawa is the narrow pick to win, but the moneyline wager is a pass.
