The Ottawa Senators look to pick up a fourth straight win and move closer to a playoff spot when they visit the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena tonight.

Drake Batherson has led the charge for Ottawa of late, and I’m picking him to continue his hot streak in my Senators vs. Red Wings predictions and NHL picks for Tuesday, March 24.

Senators vs Red Wings best bet: Drake Batherson Over 0.5 points (-135)

Drake Batherson has had a strong season for the Ottawa Senators, tallying 61 points in 67 games, trailing only Tim Stutzle.

Batherson co-leads the Sens with 10 points this month, and they’ll need his hot streak to continue in a crucial game against the Detroit Red Wings.

The Senators forward has recorded a point in eight of his last 12 contests and has also excelled against the Red Wings historically, finding the scoresheet in three of the last four meetings and 11 of the last 16 overall.
