LiontipsOttawa vs Edmonton. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (February 1, 2022).
Command Analysis
Ottawa are occupying the penultimate position in the Eastern Conference table with 30 points to their name. The team have long lost a chance to get into the playoffs, but the Senators still can strengthen their standings. The hosts have been playing pretty well in recent games.
After a crushing victory over Buffalo (5:0), the Senators lost to Carolina (2:3 SO) and Anaheim (1:2) at home. In the last two matches they simply couldn't find the back of the net despite creating a large number of scoring chances.
Edmonton have a good chance to get into the playoffs, but they need to avoid strings of defeats. The Oilers are currently on a four-game winning streak. In the last matches, they defeated Vancouver (3:2 OT), Nashville (3:2 SO) and Montreal (7:2).
It seems that they have recovered from the crisis they endured earlier this season. However, one of the main stars of the team, Connor McDavid, rarely earns points, and the Oilers remain one of the most-conceding clubs in the NHL - on average, they allow three goals per game.

Our prediction - Asian handicap (+1) to Ottawa
The Oilers concede at least three goals per game, especially on their travels. In mid-January, they had already met with Ottawa and allowed the opponent to light the lamp six times.
