Ottawa - Philadelphia: NHL match betting tip and bets

Current form

Ottawa is currently on the sixth line of the Eastern Conference and continues to show excellent results. The team is likely to finish the regular season in its current position if it manages without a series of defeats in the end. This is unlikely, since the Canadians will spend the next four matches on their own ice, where they look very powerful this year and take points from many opponents.

Before that, with the support of the home stands, Travis Green's team defeated Florida (3-0), Columbus (4-0), and after an unsuccessful away match against the same uniforms (2-5), they played great in their arena against Montreal and deservedly celebrated success with a score of 5:2. In most cases, the Canadians were very productive and conceded only one or two goals in response.

It is also worth mentioning that Ottawa uses its numerical advantage quite well and currently has 22.4% of excess sales, ranking 14th in the league by this indicator. Tim Stutzle remains the main scorer, who earned a total of 72 points in the goal +pass system, but in recent matches he has not been very effective.

Disqualifications and injuries

Tkachuk and Cousins will miss the upcoming match.

Current form

Philadelphia remains on one of the last lines of the Eastern Conference and has spent this season, to put it mildly, not well. The team had bright periods during which it performed at a high level, but still there were many more defeats. Because of this, she is now fighting only to avoid being in last place in the standings.

By the way, the Flyers have been showing their best lately and have often earned points. They were able to deal with Buffalo (7-4) and Nashville (2-1), and after an unsuccessful match against Montreal (2-3) proved their superiority over the Rangers (8-5). In the final home clash with the Islanders, Bradley's team also performed well and brought the matter to the post-match shots, where he succeeded with a score of 4:3, however, of course, he could have succeeded in regular time if he hadn't missed just a couple of minutes before the siren.

Let's emphasize that defense has not been Philadelphia's strong suit throughout the season, so in most cases it has remained at least three or four goals conceded. At the same time, the club won only 13 victories on the road for the entire season.

Ristolainen and Ellis will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.
