Command Analysis
Vegas Golden Knights
USACurrent form
After a great start to the season and three wins in a row, Vegas began a serious decline, which led to the loss of a large number of points. The Knights went on the road, where they were unable to cope with Washington (2:4), and then lost to Tampa Bay with a score of 3:4. In general, the defensive line looked reliable, as the opponents made few shots, but goalie Hill did not cope with his task. In the final away meeting with Florida, Cassidy charges had excellent chances for success, as they managed to break ahead in the middle of the third period, but the advantage did not last long. The opponent still tied the score and transferred the game to overtime, where in the end they had to lose again (3:4).
Returning to their home arena, the Golden Knights finally redeemed themselves in front of their fans, defeating Los Angeles 6-1. The most productive was forward Hertl, who scored twice and also made two assists. It is also worth noting the confident play of the second goalie Samsonov, who reflected 97% of the shots.
Disqualifications and injuries
Vegas doesn't have any serious problems with its roster. The team is playing with almost its full complement, and only goalkeeper Robin Lehner and forward Victor Olofsson remain in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- Vegas averages four goals per game
The Golden Knights, despite a mixed start to the season, continue to show very productive offensive play.
- The Knights average 4.8 penalty minutes per game.
The team is also distinguished by its very disciplined play, which allows it to consistently remain at full strength.
Ottawa Senators
CanadaCurrent form
As it turned out, Ottawa approached the new season in excellent shape and continues to please fans with successful results. The Senators have already risen to fifth place in the Eastern Conference standings and are striving for leadership, from which the club is only a few points away. The team had a successful home series of three games, which they began with a difficult victory over Los Angeles in overtime (8:7). This time, both goalies Forsberg and Søgaard did not play their best, reflecting only 77% of the shots between them, but thanks to a strong attacking line, they managed to compensate for this deficiency. The team was able to consolidate their success in a match with another serious opponent in the person of Tampa Bay, this time winning in regular time (5:4). It was expected that Green charges would easily cope with New Jersey, but this did not happen, there were difficulties with the implementation of moments in the attack, which ultimately led to a defeat (1:3).
The Senators then went on the road to play against Utah and left no chance for the former Arizona, beating them 4-0. This time, Forsberg redeemed himself for his poor performance against the Kings, stopping all shots and recording the sixth shutout of his career.
Disqualifications and injuries
Artem Zub and Mads Søgaad will definitely not be able to help Ottawa in the upcoming match. David Perron and Linus Ullmark are also questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- Ottawa converted 40.9% of its power play attempts.
The Senators are currently the best in the league at making the most of their extra man on the ice.
- The Senators are averaging 29 shots per game.
Komada doesn't throw very often, but he is highly effective.

Vegas is the clear favorite in the upcoming match for several reasons. Firstly, the Golden Knights are superior to Ottawa in both roster and quality of play, which definitely gives them an advantage. Secondly, the Knights have returned to their home arena, where they have been showing excellent play this season and have not lost a single match. It is worth paying attention to the head-to-head meetings, in which the Senators are constantly losing. So we suggest not to take risks and bet on the home team.
