Command Analysis
Ottawa Senators
CanadaCurrent form
Ottawa is currently on the seventh line of the Eastern Conference and has earned a total of 84 points, so it can feel extremely comfortable so far, because it is ahead of its closest pursuer in the standings by seven points. At the same time, the Canadians try to perform at a high level and avoid a long series of defeats.
Of course, they haven't been able to win more than two consecutive victories lately, but they also haven't allowed themselves to be beaten three times in a row. Recall that after losing to the same Buffalo (2:3), the Senators pulled themselves together and dealt with Detroit (4:3) and Pittsburgh (3:2), but in the final replay with Pence they still failed with a score of 0:1 in overtime, remaining for the first time in a long time. without a single abandoned puck in the asset.
It's worth saying that Travis Green's team performs great on their ice and has only allowed themselves to be beaten ten times within 60 minutes up to this point.

Buffalo is still one of the underdogs in the Eastern Conference, but it continues to progress. The team has been scoring a lot lately, thanks to which it already has 68 points in its asset and may soon get out of the last place in the standings, as it is now literally one point behind Philadelphia.
Unexpectedly for many, the blades began to win match after match and now often delight fans with positive results. By the way, they were successful in four out of five fights. After a series of three victories over Ottawa (3:2) and Pittsburgh (7:3), they still stumbled in the confrontation with Philadelphia (4:7), but after that they dealt with the leader of the East in Washington with a score of 8:5 on the road.
In that match against the Capitals, Lindy Raff's squad took advantage of almost all the chances they had and demonstrated an incredible offensive game. In general, Buffalo usually has no difficulties with performance, so even on foreign grounds, the club averages no less than three goals scored.

2.20Tip and bets
Ottawa is in good shape at the moment and should score two points in the match against the outsider of the Eastern Conference, especially playing at home. This season, the Senators don't often stumble in front of the home stands and are used to showing great results. Of course, the blades had reserved previous meetings for themselves, but after defeating Washington, they could easily burn out emotionally. We think that psychological factors will have an impact, and Canadians will succeed.
Prediction - Ottawa wins in 1.85
Betting on an individual total
Ottawa usually scores a lot in meetings with such opponents and opens up their defenses at least four times. Buffalo is notable for its mediocre defensive play throughout the season and concedes an average of four times on foreign pitches. It is likely that the Senators will take advantage of most of their chances and score a lot too.

Bet on the total total
We expect to see at least six goals scored in this match. Teams often play against each other on opposite courses, and most of the meetings between them turn out to be productive.

We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.62
