Command Analysis
Ottawa Senators
CanadaCurrent form
Ottawa looked decent throughout the season, but especially improved in the second half of the championship, thanks to which it gained a foothold in the playoff zone. Of course, in the series with Toronto, the team was still initially considered an outsider, since it was trite to be inferior to its opponent in class and did not have similar playoff experience.
It is noteworthy that Travis Green's squad retained all the face-to-face matches during the regular season, but at the start of the Stanley Cup, the game did not stick. It should be noted that she was defeated 2-6 in the opening match, and in the second case she lost 2-3 in overtime, although she had a good chance of a favorable outcome at the time. The club then bounced back from 0:2 and was extremely active in the other side's zone, scoring a total of 28 shots, but failed to achieve more.
Nevertheless, Ottawa is performing stronger on the home arena this year than on the road, and up to this point, in exactly half of the meetings, Victoria had achieved within the regular time, and also scored at least three or four goals on average.

Toronto Maple Leafs
CanadaCurrent form
Toronto went through several unsuccessful periods this season, but still managed to finish the regular season among the leaders of the Eastern Conference. The team started the series at home, which was very important for them to feel extra confidence in their abilities and start with two victories.
By the way, John Tavares scored goals in both previous matches. Also, in the first and in the second cases, the Leafs scored the most goals and combined well in unequal compositions. Throughout the season, the club had no difficulties with the implementation of excess and had 24.8%.
But Craig Berube's team often faced problems at other venues, even when they played with opponents below their level, so the club is well aware that upcoming guest meetings should be approached with maximum concentration. However, Toronto even concedes more on a visit than on its own ice, and on average there are at least three goals in its net. The usual majority of such goals occur in the third twenty minutes.
Disqualifications and injuries
Hakanpaa and Pacioretty will not play in the upcoming match due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- Toronto gets an average of 7.78 minutes of penalty time.
- The Leafs statistically win 53.7% of face-offs.

1.47Tip and bets
In the upcoming match, Ottawa must pull itself together and draw conclusions after losing the opening two meetings. In the last match, the Senators already looked much better and brought things to overtime, but luck was not on their side. Toronto is clearly not playing as well on the road as it does on its own ice, so it may face certain problems in the upcoming confrontation. It is likely that the hosts will be able to reduce the gap in the series.
Prediction - Ottawa wins with a handicap (0) in 1.88
Betting on an individual total
We expect to see at least three abandoned goals from the home team. Usually, the Senators actively play on their ice in someone else's zone and create many dangerous moments at someone else's goal. By the way, Toronto itself has on average conceded at least three goals per match on the road. We think that if Ottawa plays more aggressively on offense, it will be able to score three times.
We bet on Ottawa's individual total of more than 2.5 goals for 1.75
Bet on the total total
Previous meetings with the home team have been spectacular and have usually featured six or more goals. By the way, the first match between the clubs was also held with eight goals scored. The teams make great use of their chances, so there's a good chance we'll see at least six goals this time.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.90
