Command Analysis
Ottawa Senators
CanadaCurrent form
Ottawa is on the eighth line in the conference table and really wants to rise higher, which will get rid of the unnecessary pressure of competitors. The Senators scored 69 points in 62 games and are one point behind the higher-ranked Columbus with one game left. Travis Green's team couldn't start winning for a long time and have lost a lot of points since the beginning of February. It is only with the onset of spring that the team from Canada actively earns credits. On the road, the legionnaires played Washington (4:5, OT) and Chicago (4:3, OT), and at home they won a strong-willed victory over the Rangers (4:3, OT).
Brady Tkachuk's squad has improved offensively, but still can't get things right defensively. She has missed 17 times in the last five games and has been playing poorly on defense for a very long time. Linus Ulmark remains the first number of the hosts, but he has worsened his deflected shots to 90.94%. The Swede has made three shutouts in 31 meetings and is not giving Anton Forsberg a chance yet.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nick Cousins won't be able to play against Detroit.
Interesting betting trends
- Ottawa throws 29 times per game on average
- Canadians earn 8.6 penalty minutes per match
Detroit Red Wings
USACurrent form
Detroit was very good after the coach change and got back in the fight for the playoffs. The Michigan State club completely failed at the end of the winter and is not looking its best at the start of the final stretch of the regular season. The Red Wings dropped to 11th position in the conference, with only 66 points in their piggy bank after 63 matches. Krylia has not scored points in five matches. They lost twice to Columbus (2:5 and 3:5), were worse than Carolina (1:2) and Utah (2:4) on their ice, and lost away to Washington (2:5).
In the past five games, Dylan Larkin's squad has scored more than two goals per game only once, and in total has scored only ten accurate hits. It's very difficult for the Americans without a strong offensive game and they stopped winning. Lucas Raymond remains the team's bright spot in attack. The Swede scored 65 points (22+43), but he hasn't been very good lately.
Disqualifications and injuries
Andrew Kopp, Jack Petrie and Carter Mazur will not participate in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Detroit blocks 15 shots per match
- Krylia makes only 27 shots on average per match.

1.75Bet 2nd period: Ottawa will score
Ottawahas scored in the second period in the last three games.
1.40Tip and bets
Ottawa still plays rather poorly defensively, but the Canadians have improved in attack and have become more often different. With the onset of spring, Travis Green's team began to win and are actively gaining points at this stage of the season. Detroit, on the other hand, cannot come to its senses and continues to lose one meeting after another. The Wings have already left the playoff zone and are unlikely to be able to return to it if they don't start scoring more goals. We think that the team from the state of Michigan will lose once again. We are betting on the victory of the hosts in the match.
Our prediction is that Ottawa will win the match in 1.60
Betting on an individual total
Detroit is scoring 2.87 goals per game this season, but it's playing very poorly offensively at this point in the season. The Michigan State team scored only ten times in the last five games and lost mostly because of that. Ottawa still doesn't look good on its half of the ice, but the hosts are able to hold back the guests who are having trouble getting ahead.
Prediction - Detroit's individual total is less than 2.5 goals in 1.85
Bet on the total
Both teams have conceded quite a lot in recent matches, but they haven't been playing well offensively. Ottawa started scoring a little more often, but Detroit still has a lot of problems offensively. In two games this season, the teams did not score much and scored only seven accurate shots in total. We think that the meeting will not be productive.
Betting Tip - total less than 5.5 goals in 2.05
