Command Analysis

Pittsburgh Penguins

Current form
Pittsburgh completely failed this season and remained outside the playoff zone. The team even now occupies the 13th position of the Eastern Conference and is unlikely to be able to improve its position in any way before the end of the regular season. Plus, it's also a question of motivation, because, by and large, Pence doesn't make sense to make the most of herself in every fight right now.
Nevertheless, in previous meetings, the club showed its best side and celebrated success in three out of four matches. On the road, Mike Sullivan's team even dealt with Dallas (5:3), and after an unsuccessful match against Chicago (1:3), they beat the same hawks at home (5:0), and already away they dealt with a difficult opponent in the person of New Jersey with a score of 4:2. In the confrontation with the devils, the Penguins missed the opening seven minutes, during which they missed twice, but subsequently pulled themselves together and played great defense, thanks to which they dealt with the opponent during regular time.
In general, the team has huge problems playing defense this season, and it usually concedes at least three or four goals, even when playing on its own ice.
Disqualifications and injuries
Tomasino, Lizotte, Acciari, Novak, Nieto, Imama and Joseph will miss the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Pittsburgh wins 52.9% of face-offs
- Pence performs an average of 20 power moves

Boston Bruins

Current form
Boston was also left out this year and will finish this season ahead of schedule. The team is currently on the last line of the Eastern Conference, where it definitely does not plan to stop until the very end, however, it will be very difficult for it to improve the situation, given the current results. It should be noted that lately she has exclusively alternated successful fights with defeats.
On their ice, the Bruins defeated Carolina (5:1), after which they lost to Buffalo (3:6), and then literally defeated New Jersey with a score of 7:3. However, they unexpectedly lost to Chicago again at home (2:5), once again conceding five goals. In general, Joe Sacco's team has now started to miss at least three or four times in many matches, since the bears themselves do not play well defensively, and the goalkeepers are mediocre in their duties.
The most disastrous performance by Boston can be called the third segment, in which the club currently has a 74:100 ratio in goals scored and conceded. Nevertheless, such circumstances do not interfere with David Pastrniak, and the Czech forward has already managed to earn 102 points in the goal+pass system.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lindholm, Kastelitz, and McEvoy will not participate in the match.

1.52Tip and bets
In this confrontation, it is simply impossible to single out a favorite. Both teams have been showing unstable results throughout the season and are now roughly equal in level. In this case, we would start based on the coefficient, which looks more attractive for the Bruins' success. In addition, they got Victoria in the match with Pence on the road in March, so nothing prevents them from repeating this result now.
Prediction - Boston won't lose in 1.77
Betting on an individual total
Pittsburgh usually has a small number of goals scored in matches with Boston. So, in the three previous meetings out of four, the hosts remained with less than four goals scored. Boston, of course, has been demonstrating mediocre defensive play for a long period of time, but it's hard to believe that Pence can score four times in his current condition.
We're betting on Pittsburgh's individual total of less than 3.5 goals for 1.60
Bet on the total total
The teams have already met twice this season, and in both cases we witnessed fewer than six goals scored. Pittsburgh scores little in head-to-head matches with Boston, but also concedes a little in response. In addition, the bears themselves in previous meetings, as a rule, had difficulty creating and implementing moments.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 2.10
