Ottawa - Colorado: NHL match betting tip
On March 21, Ottawa will face Colorado at home. The Senators had previously shown great results and won match after match, so a defeat in the final meeting should not affect their moral component in any way. Previous meetings between the clubs turned out to be incredibly spectacular and took place with a large number of goals scored, but often ended in an avalanche victory.

Command Analysis

Ottawa Senators

Current form
Ottawa is in seventh position in the Eastern Conference and has 77 points to its credit. The team has made great progress over the past month and has significantly improved its position in the standings. Now she definitely won't be in danger of staying out of the playoff zone, at least in the near future. Let's remind you that recently the Canadians were able to produce an excellent series of six victories.
They dealt with Philadelphia on the road (5:2), and after a home victory over Boston (6:3), they beat Toronto (4:2) away, but in the last confrontation with Montreal, they unexpectedly lost with a score of 3:6. By the way, even in that match, the Senators counted on two points, because they had a minimal advantage until the middle of the third period, but then conceded four goals in a row. However, this unsuccessful duel was still supposed to benefit them, as it relieved them of the burden of responsibility.
In general, Ottawa is clearly not playing as successfully on the road as it does on its own ice, since up to this point it has managed to score only 12 wins in regular time, and it has not always been very productive.
Disqualifications and injuries
Cousins and Jensen will not be able to help the team and will miss the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Ottawa gets an average of 8.42 minutes of penalty time per match.
- According to statistics, the Senators win 53% of face-offs.

Colorado Avalanche

Current form
Colorado has already reached the fourth position of the Western Conference and is gradually trying to improve its position. The team has been showing great results since the end of last month and has completed most of the matches in its favor. She, like Ottawa, produced an excellent series of six victories, after which she slowed down a little.
The Avalanches lost to Minnesota (1:2 B), and after successful matches against Calgary (4:2) and Dallas (4:3 OT), they went on the road, where they lost to Toronto and lost to it with a score of 1:2. Strangely enough, the Avalanche scored only one abandoned goal in the majority, which was scored by Valery Nichushkin, although they scored 39 shots on the opponent's goal. Of course, the realization of the moments that day clearly left much to be desired.
As such, Jared Bednar's team usually has no performance problems, and he scores about three or four goals on average, making him one of the most productive in his conference. In addition, the team enjoys a great numerical advantage and currently has 23.6% of excess sales.
Disqualifications and injuries
Pullman, Landeskog and Manson will miss the next match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Colorado statistically wins 46.1% of face-offs.
- The Avalanche receive 6.48 minutes of penalty time per match.

In three out of five matches against the Canadians, the guests were successful in the third leg.
2.50Tip and bets
It is impossible to give a clear preference to one of the clubs, since they are now absolutely worthy of each other. However, Colorado ended all previous matches against Ottawa in its favor and achieved success exclusively in regular time. Plus, the Avalanches don't often go without points this season, even when they play away, so there's a high chance that after an unsuccessful match with Toronto, they'll pull themselves together and give their best. We think that after returning to the home arena, the Senators will not be able to continue performing as well.
Prediction - Colorado wins with a handicap (0) in 1.87
Betting on an individual total
Colorado has a powerful offensive line and averages no less than three or four goals scored. In addition, the team enjoys a great numerical advantage and scores in almost every match either in the 5x4 format or in the 5x3 format. In the last match, Ottawa conceded six goals from Montreal, therefore, most likely, it will miss at least three times in the upcoming match.
We're betting on Colorado's individual total of more than 2.5 goals for 1.60
Bet on the total total
Previous matches between the clubs turned out to be incredibly productive and took place exclusively on opposite courses. Ottawa has been making great use of its chances lately and has scored a lot, but it has also missed a lot in return. The Avalanches are constantly counting on open hockey and are not afraid to concede an extra goal, so we expect to see at least six goals in this confrontation.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.72
