LiontipsCarolina vs Ottawa. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (February 25, 2023).
Command Analysis
Carolina remain one of the main favorites in the East. The team is on top form and currently occupies the second position in the standings. In the last two games, the Hurricanes defeated Washington (4:1) and St. Louis (4:1) at home. They usually demonstrate solid defensive play and do not concede more than two goals per game.
Ottawa won't make it into the playoffs this season - they are in 13th place in the East, too far behind the top eight. But recently, the Senators have chalked up quite a lot of points and celebrated success over outsiders and midtable teams. After a loss to Chicago (3:4 ОТ), they crushed St. Louis (7:2), and in the last game they lost to Boston (1:3). The Senators aren't usually successful on road trips - they won only seven away games in regulation.
