Ottawa Senators over Detroit Red Wings is where it starts, not where it ends.

No sportsbook has posted a price for this game yet. Prices usually appear roughly a week before puck drop.

No starter is named this far out. These are each side’s projected starters on the current roster, with last season’s numbers.
