RED WINGS (32-35-12) at SENATORS (41-27-10)
7:30 p.m. ET; RDS, TSN5, FS-D, NHL.TV
Red Wings team scope
The Detroit Red Wings ended a three-game losing streak (0-3-0) with a 5-4 shootout win against the Ottawa Senators on Monday in the first game of their back-to-back series against the Senators. It was an NHL-high 28th time the Red Wings have played beyond regulation time this season. They are 7-12 in overtime and 9-0 in shootouts. This will be the Red Wings' last road game of the season before finishing with the final games at the Joe Louis Arena, against the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday and the New Jersey Devils on Sunday. Jimmy Howard likely will start in goal and play his 400th NHL game; Petr Mrazek made 41 saves Monday.
Senators team scope
The Ottawa Senators can reach second in the Atlantic Division with a victory and losses by the Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins. The Senators are third, one point behind the second-place Maple Leafs, and their 92 points are the same as the fourth-place Bruins, with the Senators holding one game in hand. They have lost five games in a row (0-3-2) and are 2-5-4 in their past 11. The Senators and the Bruins are four points ahead of the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Senators trailed 4-2 in the third period against the Red Wings on Monday and rallied to get a point in the 5-4 shootout loss. "This was a huge comeback for us," forward Kyle Turris said Monday. "Now we've got a chance to play those guys again [Tuesday] and really start to build some momentum." Forward Bobby Ryan sustained an upper-body injury Monday and his availability is in question. If he can't play, it's expected Ryan Dzingel will go into the lineup.
