Command Analysis
Ottawa Senators
CanadaCurrent form
Ottawa is located on the sixth line of the Eastern Conference and will definitely get out of it in the playoffs. The team showed very good progress in the second half of the season and was able to significantly improve its position in the standings, although it had previously been outside the top eight. Note that Canadians have also looked more than decent lately.
They lost to Columbus (2:5), after which they proved their superiority over Montreal (5:2) and Philadelphia (4:3 OT) on their ice, but, however, in a stubborn struggle in the final meeting, they lost to Chicago with a score of 3:4 in overtime, clearly underestimating their opponent. However, even in that match, Travis Green's team made great use of their moments, including in the majority, making two out of four attempts in the 5x4 format.
By the way, Ottawa performs noticeably better on its own ice than away, and before that, in exactly half of the meetings, it achieved success within the regular time, while scoring at least three or four goals.

Carolina Hurricanes
USACurrent form
Carolina remained one of the leaders of the Eastern Conference and placed on the fourth line of the standings. However, over a long period of time, the team has been showing terrible results and has been unable to pull itself together. It should be noted that since the beginning of the month, she has been losing match after match, and during this time she has won only one victory.
So, earlier on the road, the Hurricanes lost to Washington (4:5B), after which they defeated the Rangers (7:3) at home, but later lost to Toronto again (1:4), and also lost to Montreal (2:4) on the road. The Brindamore squad is currently experiencing big problems in defense, as there are usually at least three or four goals in the net. Goalkeepers are also not doing their job well. For example, Pyotr Kochetkov missed four times in the last game for 21 shots scored by his opponent.
Of course, it's possible that the Hurricanes will come to their senses in the playoffs, but mentally it will be very difficult for them to approach the first round of the Stanley Cup. Plus, their game is not going well on the road this season, as they have managed to score only 13 wins in regular time.

1.45Tip and bets
Ottawa now looks preferable to its counterpart and, of course, in the upcoming match it will try to get two points in order to leave in a good mood to prepare for the playoffs. The Senators will probably try to rehabilitate themselves for the loss to the Hawks, especially since they are in better shape now than Carolina, which has been experiencing a lot of problems lately and has failed match after match.
Prediction - Ottawa wins with a handicap (0) in 1.85
Betting on an individual total
Carolina showed a weak defensive game in previous matches and allowed the opponents to score at least three times. In addition, the goalkeepers of the Hurricanes are not coping with their duties in the best way. Ottawa, in turn, regularly scored no less than three goals in the last four out of five matches.
We bet on Ottawa's individual total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.62
Bet on the total total
The last matches with the participation of the home team were spectacular and took place with six or more goals scored. Karolina has started conceding a lot more than before, but she usually scores at least twice herself. It is likely that in the final meeting of the regular season, the clubs will play on opposite courses, so we will see at least six goals scored.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.75
