Ottawa Senators - Toronto Maple Leafs: NHL match betting tip and bets

Current form

Ottawa has been unable to get a ticket to the Stanley Cup for six years and has finally achieved the desired result, although so far everything is going to ensure that the club leaves the playoffs in the first round. The team made a terrible start to its performance in the series with Toronto, suffering a crushing defeat with a score of 2:6. Playing on the road, the team was unable to cope with the pressure of the opponent, allowing him to repeatedly realize his moments in attack. Goalkeeper Ullmark showed a terrible game, reflecting only 75% of shots.

In the second leg, the Senators played much better and had every chance of success. Five minutes before the final whistle, they managed to equalize the score and put the game into overtime, where they still had to suffer an insulting defeat (2:3). Returning to the home arena, the situation repeated itself. Again, it came to overtime, where in the second minute they had to concede the puck and concede with the same score 2:3. The attacking line played too passively, in three periods the club made only 20 shots at the Toronto goal, where it turned out to be insufficient.

Many players showed a great game, but the most productive was striker Marner, who scored the puck and provided two assists.
