Command Analysis
Ottawa Senators
CanadaCurrent form
Ottawa is in seventh position in the Eastern Conference and has 81 points to its credit. The team improved significantly in the second half of the season and began to show great results, thanks to which it was able to more or less gain a foothold in the playoff zone. This season, she has a real chance to participate in the Stanley Cup for the first time in many years.
However, the Senators have not been at their best lately and have suffered three defeats in five matches. They lost to Colorado at home (1:5), after which they dealt with New Jersey on the road (3:2). They brightened up the unsuccessful match against Buffalo (2:3) with a victory against Detroit with a score of 4:3, while opening the opponent's defense four times. In general, Travis Green's team is notable for its good performance in many meetings, but at the same time it often has problems in defense.
That is why Canadians often act on opposite courses and try to score as much as possible, since they have absolutely no confidence in defense.

Columbus Blue Jackets
USACurrent form
Columbus can also qualify for the playoffs this year, as it is currently in 11th position in the Eastern Conference and is just a couple of points behind the top eight. However, recently, the team clearly could not boast the same results as Ottawa, and faced a long series of defeats.
Fortunately, after unsuccessful matches against Florida (0:1 OT) and Pittsburgh (3:6), she nevertheless pulled herself together and dealt with the Islanders (4:3 B) on the road, and then consolidated her success in the home confrontation with Vancouver with a score of 7:6 in shootouts. In the final meeting with the Canadians, they showed character and fought back just a few minutes before the final siren, scoring three goals in a row, after which they were lucky in a series of shots.
The best way, as a rule, is for the team to start the game, in which it has a 64:58 ratio of goals scored and missed, so at the beginning of the match it tries to give its best and get a comfortable advantage for itself.

In the last meeting with Columbus, the hosts celebrated success in the second leg.
2.20Tip and bets
Ottawa shows decent results on its ice and often succeeds in matches with similar opponents. Columbus just finished the match against Vancouver the day before and hardly had time to fully recover. The Senators took a deep breath and previously looked better than their counterpart. We think that with the support of the home stands, Travis Green's squad should earn two points.
Prediction - Ottawa wins in 1.82
Betting on an individual total
Ottawa demonstrates excellent performance and in most cases is distinguished by no less than three abandoned goals. Columbus plays a mediocre defensive game on the road and usually concedes at least three times. In the three previous meetings, by the way, there were also at least three goals in the goal net of the uniforms.
