Detroit Red Wings vs Ottawa Senators Game Analysis — Monday, January 5, 2026
By Hockey in 60
Detroit Red Wings won despite being outshot 37–21. Ottawa Senators generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Detroit Red Wings scored on 23.8% of its shots, compared with 8.1% for Ottawa Senators. Those are team scoring rates, not goalie save percentages; empty-net goals can affect them. The totals establish a difference in conversion, but cannot separate finishing, chance quality and goaltending.
Detroit Red Wings converted 1 of 5 power plays (20.0%); Ottawa Senators converted 1 of 6 power plays (16.7%). Power-play goal totals were level, so the difference in the final score came from other scoring situations.
Ottawa Senators won 58.7% of faceoffs. That is a clear edge in restarts, but faceoff percentage should not be treated as a possession percentage: the totals do not show where the draws occurred or what happened immediately afterwards.
