Columbus Blue Jackets - Ottawa Senators: NHL match betting tip
A meeting between Columbus and Ottawa will take place on April 9. The Senators are claiming their fourth victory in a row, but the uniforms, on the contrary, definitely do not want to allow a fourth defeat. However, all previous matches were in favor of the Canadians, and the recent meeting between the clubs ended with a score of 4:0 in favor of the favorite. What should I bet on in the upcoming confrontation? You will learn the answer from the betting tip
Command Analysis
Columbus Blue Jackets
USACurrent form
Columbus no longer even has a theoretical chance of getting into the top eight of the Eastern Conference. The team is currently on the 12th line of the standings and at the same time continues to show poor results. She hasn't been able to get any points lately, and she's lost by a few goals in three consecutive games.
Let's remind that the uniforms dealt with Nashville (8:4), but after that they lost to Colorado (3:7), and on the road they completely lost to Toronto (0:5), and then suffered a dry defeat in the match with Ottawa. In the previous meeting with the Senators, Dean Evason's team tried to be extremely active in someone else's zone and even hit the opponent's goal with a total of 29 shots, but such actions did not lead to a positive result.
But it should be noted that the Blue Jackets are still performing better at home than away, and they have allowed themselves to be beaten only ten times during the regular season, and on average they have scored at least three or four goals.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kevin Labanque will not be able to help the team in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Columbus gets an average of 8.01 minutes of penalty time.
- Uniforms win 47.8% of face-offs
Ottawa Senators
CanadaCurrent form
Ottawa is currently actively fighting to improve its position in the standings. The team has already reached the sixth place in the Eastern Conference and is currently separated from the fifth position by just a couple of points, so it definitely does not plan to stop there. The Senators have shown incredible progress in the second half of the season and continue to delight fans with brilliant results.
Let's emphasize that the Canadians are staying in a series of three Victorias. After losing to Buffalo (2:5), they pulled themselves together and dealt with powerful opponents in the face of Tampa (2:1) and Florida (3:0) on the home court, and after that they beat Columbus. Goalkeepers Linus Ullmark and Anton Forsberg have been doing a great job lately and have parried more than 70 shots between them in just the last two matches.
It is worth mentioning that the Canadians continue to feel their best within the starting twenty minutes, in which they have a 67:59 ratio of goals scored and conceded, so they are used to spending the first minutes of the game extremely actively.
Disqualifications and injuries
Cousins and Tkachuk will not play in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Ottawa wins 53.2% of face-offs

2.45Tip and bets
Ottawa can claim two points in the upcoming match again. Just the day before, the Senators dealt with their opponent very confidently on the home court, and nothing prevents them from giving the same result on the road. Columbus has been showing poor results lately and has often been inferior in regular time. Plus, the Canadians ended all previous matches against the uniforms in their favor.
Betting Tip - Ottawa wins in 2.30
Betting on an individual total
Columbus had huge problems with the implementation of chances in previous matches and in the last two meetings he was left without any goals at all. The Senators are already adapting to the playoff style of play and are trying to pay more attention to defense than before. Thanks to this, in the last four out of five meetings, they managed with less than three goals conceded. That is why we expect a high-quality defensive game from the guests in the upcoming confrontation.
We're betting on Columbus' individual total of less than 2.5 goals in 2.05
Bet on the total total
Matches between clubs are not always spectacular. The four previous matches between them took place with less than six goals scored. As we noted above, Ottawa is unlikely to force events and take unnecessary risks in the upcoming confrontation, as it now values points very much. Based on this, we assume that this time we will not see more than five heads again.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 2.15
