Command Analysis
Boston Bruins
USACurrent form
Boston is in eighth place in the Eastern Conference and has earned 13 points in total. The team has not been distinguished by stable results this season and, as a rule, cannot win more than two victories in a row. Not long ago, it dealt with Philadelphia (3:0) and Seattle (2:0), and after a major defeat from Toronto (0:4), it proved its superiority over Calgary with a score of 4:3 in overtime. In most cases, Jim Montgomery team is not distinguished by high efficiency and usually does not score more than two or three goals. By the way, at the moment, none of the players in the club has more than 13 points in the goal + pass system.
The "Bears" are performing worst in the final game segment, in which they currently have 5:16 goals scored and conceded. It should be emphasized that most of their victories are achieved in a tough fight and, as a rule, outside of regulation time. Thus, on the home ice, the "Bruins" have won only two victories within 60 minutes in eight games. It is worth mentioning that the club remains one of the worst in the league in terms of playing in the majority. Today, it occupies the 30th position in this indicator and has only 12.9% of the extra man conversion. By the way, the game for "Boston" is best when it concedes no more than one or two goals.

Andrew Peake will not take part in the upcoming fight due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting

The team is one of the worst in the league in terms of power play and plays poorly when short-handed.
Ottawa Senators
CanadaCurrent form
Ottawa is in ninth place in the Eastern Conference and has earned 12 points in total. The team has not had any long losing streaks since the beginning of this season and, as a rule, has not lost more than two games in a row. However, after a successful matchup with Seattle (3:0) on their home court, the Senators first lost to Buffalo (1:5) and then lost at home to the Islanders with a score of 2:4. At the same time, if Travis Green team had previously often distinguished itself with great efficiency and scored at least three or four goals, then in the last two games he could not score more than two goals.
The Canadians are most productive in the final twenty minutes, in which they have a 16:19 ratio of goals scored and goals conceded. In general, they are used to acting on counter-courses, so they play most of the time on counterattacks and try to wait for mistakes from the opponent. It should be emphasized that the Senators are great in the 5x4 format and are one of the best in the league in terms of power play, currently having 31%. Also, since the beginning of the season, Tim Stützle has demonstrated incredible performance, having earned 19 points in the goal + pass system. The German forward continues to be distinguished by his productive actions on the ice and rarely leaves the ice without scoring at least one point.
Disqualifications and injuries
Shane Pinto will not take part in the upcoming fight.
Interesting trends for betting
- Statistically, Ottawa takes at least 31 shots on goal
The Canadians play well on offense and try to make shots from any position.
- On average, the Canadians allow 3.67 goals per game on the road.
Ottawa plays poor defense on the road and usually allows opponents to score at least three times
Trends
Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
In the four previous matches involving the visitors, the first period was unproductive
1.95Bet 2nd period: Canadians will score
In the last three games against Boston, the visitors scored in the second period
1.55Tip and bets
Ottawa is currently performing no worse than Boston. The Canadians look good in most matches and usually impose a tight fight on powerful opponents. Plus, the Senators finished the last meeting against the Bruins in their favor with a score of 3:1. Considering the instability of the Bears, it will be very difficult for them to earn two points in the upcoming confrontation. Moreover, Jim Montgomery team rarely achieves success in regular time this season. We think it makes sense to bet on the Canadians' handicap.
Prediction - Ottawa win with handicap (0) for 2.25
Bet on individual total
Since the beginning of the season, Boston has not demonstrated the best defense game and usually misses at least three goals. The Senators, in turn, rely entirely on the attack and are used to acting on counter courses. Plus, the club leaders are currently in good shape and are able to take the game on themselves at any time. Based on this, we suggest betting on the individual total.
We take the individual total of Ottawa over 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.80
Total Bet
Many previous meetings between the clubs were not characterized by high scoring and were held in a power struggle. Boston also played most of the previous matches with a minimum number of goals scored and conceded. Now the Bruins are working on their game in defense, since often the matches in which they allow more than two goals do not end in their favor. That is why we think that in this confrontation there will be low scoring.
We bet on total under 5.5 goals with odds of 2.10
