Command Analysis
Ottawa Senators
CanadaCurrent form
Ottawa is actively fighting for the playoffs this season. The team is currently in tenth place in the Eastern Conference and has 62 points to its credit, so it is literally four points behind the top eight. It should be noted that at the beginning of the month, the club showed its best side and even gave out a series of five wins, but it was replaced by a series of five failures.
Before that, the Canadians lost to Tampa (1:5) and Florida (1:5), and after that they lost to Montreal (2:5) and Winnipeg (1:4) at home. It is noteworthy that in all the matches, the Senators had problems creating and implementing chances and could not score more than one or two goals. At the same time, they did not use their numerical advantage well. In the same confrontation with the Jets, the club had two opportunities to play in the 5x4 format, but it did not create anything dangerous at the opponent's goal.
As a rule, Travis Green's players spend the final twenty minutes the worst, in which they have a 52:65 ratio in scoring and conceding goals and rarely get away with it. Nevertheless, with the support of the home stands, Ottawa is performing strongly and has allowed itself to be beaten only seven times within 60 minutes throughout the season, and has been successful in regular time on 12 occasions.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bernard-Docker, Cousins, Merilainen and Kleven will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Ottawa gets an average of 8.76 minutes of penalty time per match.
According to statistics, the Senators have been eliminated at least four times and are experiencing some discipline problems this season.
- Ottawa has 23.4% of the implementation of the majority
The team enjoys a good numerical advantage and ranks tenth in the league according to this indicator.
San Jose Sharks
USACurrent form
San Jose remains the main outsider of the Western Conference and is located in the last position of the standings. The team can still get out of the last place, but for this it needs at least to get out of a long series of defeats. Let's remind that before that she lost in seven fights in a row, and in three cases she brought the matter to overtime, but luck was always not on her side.
Earlier on their ice, the Sharks lost to Dallas (3:8), after which they lost to Calgary (1:2) on the road, and also lost to Winnipeg (1:2 OT) and Montreal with a score of 3:4 in overtime. At the same time, in many cases they were left with the minimum number of goals scored and could not open the opponents' defense more than once. This is quite strange, because throughout the season, the Sharks adhere to an open style of play and try to act exclusively on opposite courses. By the way, they remain the most missed club in the league today.
Ryan Warsofsky's players are playing worse on the road than on the home court, and have won only four victories in regular time. The starting game period is bad for San Jose, in which it has a 45:70 ratio in scoring and conceding goals. By the way, on average, the Sharks concede about four goals per match on the road.
Disqualifications and injuries
Rutta and Tran will not be able to participate in the upcoming meeting due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- San Jose gets 8.02 minutes of penalty time per match
The team is usually eliminated at least four times per game and is not well disciplined.
- San Jose makes an average of 26 shots on target.
Sharks are characterized by low throwing activity in the current season and act mainly as the second number
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks
In four out of five matches between the clubs, the first period turned out to be productive.
1.80Bet 2nd period: both will score
In the last three matches, both teams scored in the second leg.
2.20Tip and bets
San Jose has been scoring a lot lately, even though it hasn't won. The team often went to overtime and lost outside of regular time. Ottawa is doing very poorly right now, and it's having huge problems both defensively and offensively. The previous match between the clubs was also held in an equal struggle and ended with a minimal advantage for the Senators. It is likely that the guests will be able to bring it to overtime this time and earn at least one point.
Prediction - San Jose won't lose in 2.35
Betting on an individual total
Ottawa had a mediocre performance in previous meetings and often couldn't even score three goals. San Jose, of course, has been showing poor defensive play throughout the season, but in the last four out of five games it has remained less than four goals conceded. It is likely that the guests will not miss four times against the Canadians either.
We take Ottawa's individual total of less than 3.5 goals for 1.90
Bet on the total total
Previous meetings with San Jose were not particularly productive and often took place with less than seven goals scored. After a series of unsuccessful matches, Ottawa will probably try to play in a more closed style and will act more carefully in its own zone. Plus, both teams have had difficulty realizing their chances lately, so it makes sense to put less on the total.
Betting Tip - total less than 6.5 goals in 1.60
