Command Analysis
New Jersey Devils
USACurrent form
New Jersey is in the sixth position of the Eastern Conference and scored a total of 80 points. The team will definitely not be able to improve its position in the near future, as it is five points behind its nearest competitor in the standings. At the same time, she continues to show unstable results and, after a winning streak, alternates successful fights with defeats.
Earlier on their ice, the Devils dealt with Edmonton (3:2), after which they lost to Pittsburgh (3:7), and after a hard-fought victory over Columbus (2:1) they returned to their home arena, where they unexpectedly lost to Calgary with a score of 3:5, being the favorite. By the way, in the confrontation with the flames, they had an incredibly comfortable two-goal advantage and went out with it for the third period, but they completely failed in the final twenty minutes, allowing the opponent to score four unanswered goals and, accordingly, succeed within the regular time.
This doesn't happen very often with the Devils this season, as they usually bring such matches to victory, because they don't have any special defensive problems.
Disqualifications and injuries
Hughes, Siegenthaler, Hamilton, Palat and Lazar will not participate in the match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- New Jersey gets 8.27 minutes of penalty time
- On average, New Jersey makes 28 shots on target per match.
Ottawa Senators
CanadaCurrent form
Ottawa, in general, can be happy with its current position, since not so long ago it reached the seventh position of the Eastern Conference and earned 77 points. In the near future, she definitely won't face relegation from the playoff zone, so the club can take a little breath. Let's emphasize that not so long ago, the team produced an amazing series of six victories, and only after that it began to lose.
So, after successful matches against Boston (6:3) and Toronto (4:2), the Canadians first lost to Montreal on the road (3:6), and already on the home court they lost to Colorado with a score of 1:5. Thus, Travis Green's team conceded 11 goals in a couple of matches, which, of course, is a disappointing indicator. However, Canadians have already faced such situations this season and found the strength to cope with them.
However, Ottawa is clearly not performing as well on foreign arenas as on its own ice, since up to that point it had managed to score only 12 wins during regular time, and on average there were at least three goals in its net.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jensen, Cousins and Hamonic will not be able to participate in the match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Ottawa gets an average of 8.44 minutes of penalty time per match.
- Senators win 52.9% of face-offs
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In three out of four matches between the clubs, the first period was inconclusive.
1.80Bet 2nd period: the guests will score
In four out of five matches, the Canadians scored goals in the second period.
1.55Tip and bets
We think that Ottawa will compete for two points in this confrontation. At the moment, the Senators definitely look no worse than their counterpart and have shown approximately the same results as him lately. In addition, the last meeting against the Devils, which took place a couple of months ago in Newark, the guests ended in their favor with a score of 2:1. Of course, this match will also be an equal match, but we believe that it should end in favor of the Canadians.
Prediction - Ottawa wins with a handicap (0) in 2.00
Betting on an individual total
In four previous meetings out of five, Ottawa regularly scored at least three goals. New Jersey, in turn, did not have a reliable defensive game in previous matches and allowed opponents too much in their own zone, which is why there were often more than two goals in the net. It is likely that the visitors will score three times this time.
We bet on Ottawa's individual total of more than 2.5 goals for 1.77
Bet on the total total
Both teams can score goals and have a number of skilled forwards. Ottawa has played all recent games on opposite courses, so matches with its participation turned out to be spectacular and ended with more than five goals scored. The Devils are also not against open hockey in duels with similar opponents, so it makes sense to bet more on total.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.90
