Command Analysis

Ottawa Senators

Current form
Ottawa has more or less gained a foothold in the playoff zone. She is currently on the seventh line of the Eastern Conference and has 73 points in her asset, but is actively fighting to strengthen her position in the standings. At the moment, the Senators are probably in their best shape over the past month, as they are heading into a four-game Victory series and, apparently, they are not going to stop there.
The team had previously defeated Chicago (4-3 OT) on the road, defeated the Rangers (4-3 OT) and Detroit (2:1) at home, and also dealt with Philadelphia without much difficulty with a score of 5:2. At the same time, Travis Green's players were very effective in all meetings and opened up the opponents' defenses, as a rule, at least three times. With the support of the home stands, Ottawa plays even better offensively and usually scores at least three goals.
The Senators feel most comfortable in the second half of the game, in which they have a 60:58 ratio of dropped and missed goals. That is why we can say that playing on the far benches is easy for them.
Disqualifications and injuries
Cousins and Hamonic will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Ottawa wins according to statistics 53% of face-offs
- On average, Ottawa gets 8.52 minutes of penalty time per match.

Boston Bruins

Current form
Boston may remain outside the playoff zone this season. The team is currently on the 12th line of the Eastern Conference, and with such results it will be very difficult for it to gain a foothold in the top eight. Moreover, the club's management apparently does not expect good results this year, since they recently parted ways with a long-term leader in the person of Brad Marchand, without whom the Bruins' offensive situation will become even worse.
Let's emphasize that not so long ago the bears faced a series of three defeats. However, after unsuccessful matches against Nashville (3:6) and Carolina (2:3), they nevertheless pulled themselves together and literally defeated Tampa (4:0) on the road, and then consolidated their success in the home meeting with Florida (3:2), having a great comeback with 0:2 David Pastrniak never ceases to delight fans with his game, which literally in every match is distinguished by effective actions and has already managed to score 81 points on the goal + pass system.
However, Boston is playing even weaker on the road than at home, and up to this point has managed to score only nine wins within 60 minutes.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lindholm and McEvoy will not be able to participate in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Boston has 55:65 on goals scored and conceded in the second period.
- According to statistics, Boston gets 10.24 minutes of penalty time per match.

2.20Tip and bets
Ottawa now looks much more powerful than its rival in various aspects. Boston relies mainly on the perfect game played by David Pastrniak, but his actions in matches against skilled opponents are often not enough. Moreover, the Senators are approaching this confrontation in great shape and are on a long winning streak. Considering that the bears are playing poorly on the road this season, we suggest betting on the success of the owners of the site.
Prediction - Ottawa wins in 1.90
Betting on an individual total
Ottawa has shown decent defensive play lately and has often managed with less than three goals conceded. Boston is characterized by modest performance on the road and in most cases remains with two or fewer goals. By the way, last time the bears were also able to open the defense of their opponent only twice, so we suggest betting on an individual Bruins total.
We take Boston's individual total of less than 2.5 goals for 1.65
Bet on the total total
Many past matches involving Boston turned out to be inconclusive and ended with five or fewer goals scored. With Marchand's departure, the team has almost exhausted its attacking potential, so now it will pay more attention to actions in its own zone. Plus, past matches between the clubs were also quite often played by the grassroots.
We bet on a total of less than 5.5 pucks for 1.82
