Toronto - Florida: betting tip (kef 2.25) and bets on the NHL match

Current form

On April 9, Toronto was hit by the very ice rink that the Islanders sometimes turn on - without warning and without pity - at the EUBIES Arena in New York. The result is 3:5, but the score here, to be honest, does not fully reflect the nature of the game. It all started with a cold shower: Brayden Schenn opened the scoring in the second minute. Further — more. Jean-Gabriel Pageau and Steven Lorenz brought it to 0-3, and all this in a matter of minutes. Toronto seemed to have overslept the beginning, and in the NHL, such things are punished quickly and mercilessly. In the second period, the visitors tried to wake up: Easton Cowan converted most of the passes from John Tavares and Oliver Ekman-Larsson.

But as soon as there was hope, the Islanders turned on control mode again — pucks from Matthew Schaefer and Emil Heineman brought everything back to normal. In the third period, Calum Ritchie added another hole in the lead, and Morgan Riley scored the last Leafs goal. But to be honest, the key to the match is the shooting statistics: 16 against 44. With such a balance, counting on success is like playing roulette with one possible outcome. Artur Akhtyamov held on with dignity — 39 saves, but one goalkeeper cannot drag the team forever. 78 points, bottom of the table and bye to the playoffs.

Now about the Panthers. And here the story is even sadder. In Ottawa, at the Canadian Tire Center, the reigning champion looked like the season was already over for him - 1:5 from the Senators. It all started with the majority, which was implemented by Drake Baterson with the support of Jake Sanderson and Brady Tkachuk. And then Fabian Zetterlund doubled the advantage — and it already looked like an application for an evening without intrigue. The teams seemed to spend the second period on pause, but in the third Ottawa simply finished off the opponent. Artem Zubov made it 3-0, and it became clear that Florida was not in the game today. 

The only bright moment was Jesper Boqvist's puck after passes from AJ Greer and Eetu Luostarinen. But it was more of an episode than the beginning of a comeback. In the end, Claude Giroud and Zetterlund sent the pucks into an empty net, hard but to the point. Sergey Bobrovsky played well (21 saves), but the team in front of him looked tired and dismantled. Four defeats in a row, 78 points, and the feeling that the season is just playing out.
