LiontipsOttawa vs Philadelphia. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (March 19, 2022).
Command Analysis
Ottawa are one of the main outsiders in the Eastern Conference. They sit in the penultimate line in the standings and continue to deliver poor results. In the last three home games, the Senators suffered defeats to Chicago (3:6), Arizona (3:5), and Columbus (1:4).
The defensive line of the Senators has been completely unreliable as they allowed the opponents at least four goals in each of those games. In general, D.J. Smith's men have been unconvincing in their home games - they lost 19 of them in regulation.
Philadelphia are having the worst season in years. The team is also among the outsiders in the East, occupying the 12th line in the table. Recently, the Flyers broke their string of defeats. After losing to Carolina (1:3) and Montreal (3:4 OT), they got a strong-willed victory over Nashville (5:4).
However, the Flyers aren't successful on road trips. They won only six games in regulation away from home, and conceded an average of three to four goals per game.
Trends
СтавкаOttawa IT over 2.5 goals
Philadelphia have conceded more than 2 goals in their last 4 games.
Ставка1st period: total over 1.5 goals

Tip and bets
We believe that Ottawa have a slight advantage in this fixture due to the home-court factor. Philadelphia are unimpressive on road trips and often lose in regulation. In their last outing, the Flyers prevailed over Nashville, but they almost never win in two games in a row.
Our prediction - Ottawa to win
Philadelphia concede a lot in away games, and Ottawa have no problems scoring against such opponents. After three home defeats in a row, the Senators will be looking for redemption and strive to deliver a bright attacking performance.
Second bet - Ottawa IT over 3 goals
