How to watch Senators vs. Red Wings today: Channel, time, schedule, live stream for Monday Night Hockey  image

If you’re looking for the channel to watch the Senators vs. Red Wings, you’re in the right place. Below is everything you need — TV channel and live stream info — for the Monday night matchup that won't be on your usual Sportsnet or TSN options.

It’s Senators vs. Red Wings — a clash of Atlantic Division extremes, with Detroit trying to keep pace near the top and Ottawa desperate to climb out from the basement.

For the Wings, the offense starts with Lucas Raymond and Alex DeBrincat. Both have hovered around a point per game this season, giving Detroit the scoring punch it needs when the games tighten up.

Ottawa, meanwhile, is ready to toss the 2025 portion of the schedule in the trash and hit reset in 2026. The Sens sit outside the playoff picture right now, but the Eastern Conference is jammed — and a short win streak can flip the entire conversation in a hurry.

Here's everything you need to know to watch the Sens and Wings tonight.
