If the Red Wings are going to make the playoffs this season, they need to pick up some wins against their division rival Ottawa Senators.
Like the Red Wings, the Ottawa Senators are a team that has been relatively quiet so far this offseason. A few low-key moves have the Senators set to roll into the 2025-26 season with a similar squad from last season.
Detroit has struggled against Ottawa in recent years. Since the start of the 2021-22 season, the Red Wings have just three wins in 15 matchups against the Senators.
