Ottawa vs New Jersey: prediction for the NHL game
The Senators and the Devils square off in the NHL on Saturday, November 19. What to expect from the teams? Our prediction is in the article below.
Command Analysis
Ottawa Senators
CanadaOttawa are second-to-last in the East. The team is very inconsistent this season. For example, after a victory over Philadelphia (4:1), the Senators lost to the Islanders (2:4) and then beat Buffalo (4:1). D. J. Smith's men often struggle on defense and concede three or four goals per game, even when they play at home. Their worst period is second, and they aren't particularly successful on power play.
New Jersey Devils
USANew Jersey are on top form. They have a winning streak of 11 games. In the last two away games, the Devils defeated Montreal (5:1) and Toronto (3:2 ОТ). The team is currently 2nd in the East, trailing Boston by two points. Unlike their opponents, Lindy Ruff's charges have improved their defensive play and on average concede two goals per game, while delivering three or four. The Devils lost only one out of eight away games in regulation.
Trends

New Jersey scored over 3 goals in 2 out of 3 games.

Tip and bets
New Jersey are in excellent team form. Ottawa haven't been nearly as impressive this season. The teams crossed paths last week, and then the Devils won in overtime. We believe this time, they will be able to win in regulation.
Our prediction - New Jersey to win
We predict a high-scoring affair. The teams are used to open hockey and not afraid to concede many goals. Previous meeting between the clubs often had more than six goals, so we recommend taking the over.
