Ottawa - Tampa Bay: NHL match betting tip
As part of the NHL championship on April 4, Ottawa will sort things out with Tampa on the home court. The Canadians are far from their optimal form today, while the Lightning showed excellent results earlier and won match after match. The last meeting between the clubs ended in Bolt's favor with a score of 5.:1. Are the Senators rehabilitating on their ice? What kind of bet should I place? We will learn about this from the betting tip
Command Analysis
Ottawa Senators
CanadaCurrent form
Ottawa currently sits on the seventh line of the Eastern Conference and has earned a total of 84 points. The team was able to significantly improve its position in the standings in a short period of time only due to the fact that it began to beat opponent after opponent and leave behind even the most difficult duels.
However, after that she faced two defeats in a row. So, having dealt with Detroit (4:3) on the road and beaten Columbus (3:2) at home, the Canadians unexpectedly lost away to Pittsburgh (0:1 OT), and already on the home court they failed against Buffalo with a score of 2:5, while again scoring only two goals. In the confrontation with the blades, Travis Green's wards were very active in the attack zone and scored a total of 35 shots, and if it hadn't been for two unanswered goals conceded in the opening period, they could have claimed two points.
Of course, the team's chances have become even worse due to the loss of Brady Tkachuk, who was injured in the match with Pence, so the forward will not be able to help the club in the near future.
Disqualifications and injuries
Cousins and Tkachuk will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Ottawa gets an average of 8.28 minutes of penalty time per match.
- According to statistics, the team makes 29 shots on target
Tampa Bay Lightning
USACurrent form
Tampa is currently in fourth position in the Eastern Conference and has earned 93 points. The team may well claim to finish the regular part of the championship in the top three, and will certainly do everything possible for this. At the same time, she is literally three points away from the third position, and she also has one game left.
The zippers have been showing great results lately and are in great shape today. Before that, they literally defeated Pittsburgh (6:1) and Utah (8:0) on the road, and after defeating the Islanders (5:3), they went on the road, where they confidently dealt with the same Islanders with a score of 4:1. In most cases, the Bolts had no problems creating and executing chances and at the same time conceded the minimum number of goals in response.
We emphasize that John Cooper's team is usually most active in the opening twenty minutes, in which it has a ratio of 82:54 in goals scored and conceded, therefore, as a rule, it always tries to make a quick puck and take a minimal advantage.
Disqualifications and injuries
At the moment, Tampa has no problems with the roster.
Interesting betting trends
- According to statistics, Tampa holds 17 power moves per match.
- Lightning wins 50.4% of face-offs

Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks

1.85The bet of the 2nd period: the victory of the guests
In the last five meetings, the guests have reserved the second leg for themselves.
2.30Tip and bets
We think that Tampa has a better chance of success in the upcoming confrontation. The Lightning are in amazing shape right now and dealt with many opponents very confidently the day before, while Ottawa faced an unpleasant series. Plus, the Senators are currently playing without their offensive leader, Brady Tkachuk, so scoring has become even more difficult for them.
Betting Tip - Tampa's victory in 2.20
Betting on an individual total
Tampa has shown solid defensive play in previous meetings and has usually managed with less than three goals conceded. The Senators have shown poor performance in the last two matches and failed to score three goals even against the obvious outsider in the face of Buffalo. We think that the hosts won't score much this time either.
We're betting on Ottawa's individual total of less than 2.5 goals for 2.00
Bet on the total total
Despite the fact that we don't expect to see more than two goals from the home team, we expect at least six goals in this matchup. It is likely that the meeting will be productive and spectacular, since Tampa has recently scored a lot and opened up the opponents' defense at least four or five times.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 2.10
