LiontipsMontreal - Ottawa: NHL match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Montreal has completed its four-match away streak, which turned out to be far from the most successful. The team was able to win only one victory over Vancouver, taking advantage of the opponent's defensive failures and realizing its attacking potential, which allowed it to snatch Victoria with a score of 4:2. Slafkowski, the first-line striker, showed a great game, scoring the puck and providing two assists.
Returning to their home arena, the Canadians faced a clear favorite in the face of Florida. It seemed that Montreal had no chance of success, as the Panthers were in optimal shape and outperformed their competitor in all respects. But due to the efforts of goalkeeper Montembo, as well as the amazing accuracy of the shots, they managed to score an unexpected victory with a score of 3:1. Thanks to this victory, the team retained its position in the Eastern Conference table, occupying the ninth place, and the gap from the playoff zone is only one point.

Current form
Ottawa has gained excellent form and has not lost for six matches in a row. What is especially noteworthy is that almost all of them ended in regular time. After the successful completion of the home series, the team went on a visit to Philadelphia, where they defeated their opponent with a score of 5:2. It is difficult to even single out any of the players, as many have distinguished themselves by their effective actions. Returning to the home arena, the team also left no chance for Boston (6-3). This time, striker Baterson scored a double and gave an assist.
It seemed that the Senators' winning streak would end there, as they had to fight the clear favorite– Toronto. This time, Ottawa was able to cope with the pressure of the opponent, and she realized her attacking potential, which allowed her to achieve another success with a score of 4:2. Thanks to such successful performances, the club has seriously strengthened its position in the playoff zone and now has a five-point advantage over its closest competitor.

1.99Tip and bets
Montreal has recently shown unstable results and is periodically inferior even to rivals of its own level, which cannot be said about Ottawa. Indeed, the Canadiens are far from their best form and are unlikely to be able to continue their winning streak at home, given the Senators' momentum. The guests leave no chance for their competitors, both at home and away. It is for these reasons that we propose to make a confident bet in favor of the senators.
Our prediction is that Ottawa will win the match in 1.80
Bet on the total
We can also expect productive hockey in the upcoming match. Ottawa is not used to holing up on the defensive and prefers open, attacking hockey, which often leads to a large number of abandoned goals.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.90
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Nevertheless, it is worth noting that Montreal shows a confident game in the first period and quite often earns an advantage at the end of the opening period. We believe that the guests may have difficulties at the beginning of the meeting.
Prediction - Montreal wins in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.96
