Game 73 Preview and Open Thread: Ottawa Senators @ Detroit Red Wings
Photo by Dave Reginek/NHLI via Getty ImagesAfter the Ottawa Senators swept their home-and-home series to start the month, one would imagine that the Detroit Red Wings have a bit of a chip on their shoulder. Detroit hasn’t lost in regulation since those back-to-back losses against the Sens, and Ottawa has lost three of four since then.
Based on Ottawa’s lines at the morning skate, Michael Del Zotto will replace Victor Mete, and head coach DJ Smith considers Drake Batherson a game-time decision. It also looks like the trend will continue with Anton Forsberg starting this road game:
