Carolina vs Ottawa. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (December 3, 2021).

Carolina are in the Top-4 in the Eastern Conference table with a total of 31 points. The team had an excellent winning streak at the start of the season, but recently they suffered a dip in form. For example, after the confident victory over San Jose (6:3), the Hurricanes lost to Washington at home (2:4), and were defeated by Dallas (1:4) away. In the last 4 bouts out of 5, the Hurricanes couldn't score more than 2 goals, which is unusual - they average 3 goals per game. 

Ottawa remain one of the main outsiders, sitting bottom of the table with 9 points. After returning from the quarantine, the Senators lost 5 games in a row. They are especially weak away from home, where the team prevailed in just 1 out of 9 games. Ottawa are one of the most conceding clubs in the NHL, and away they usually let their opponents score 4 or even more goals. It is unlikely that the Senators will be able to noticeably improve their position this season.
