Listen
Ottawa has an almost perfect start to the championship. Travis Green's team won five of the six meetings and confidently dealt with New Jersey the day before. However, there is almost no time to recover, and there is a difficult match ahead against St. Louis. The Blues also approach the game after winning, but before that they had a rather unpleasant series of defeats. Will the successful series of hosts continue? We study the latest results in our betting tip and select a bid
Command Analysis
Ottawa Senators
Ottawa has been showing great results lately - 5 wins in six matches. The only misfire occurred in Detroit, where the Senators lost 3:5. But after that, Travis Green's team coped with Philadelphia (2:1) and Nashville (3:2B). Moreover, in the second meeting we had to win back from 0:2.
The day before, the Canadians went to Newark and calmly dealt with New Jersey with a score of 4:1. Tim Stutzle scored two points, and Shane Pinto, Stephen Halliday and Tyler Kleven scored goals. Linus Ullmark looked great in goal again, making 29 saves. However, now Ottawa has an additional problem in the form of a busy calendar. The team will have to play the second match in two days.
St. Louis Blues
St. Louis has already gone through a small crisis. After defeating Dallas (4-0), Jim Montgomery's team unexpectedly lost three meetings in a row. The defeat against Colorado (1-6) turned out to be especially painful, and then the Blues failed to cope with Chicago (2-4) and San Jose (2-3 OT). Moreover, problems arose not only in defense, but also with the implementation of moments.
But against Columbus, the hockey players finally showed their mettle. After the first period, the hosts lost 0:2, but managed to completely turn the game around and won 5-3. Jimmy Snaggerud scored a double, Dylan Holloway scored three assists, and Jordan Binnington made 20 saves. Of course, such a result should add confidence, but one victory does not solve all the problems of the team yet.
A busy calendar is perhaps the only serious obstacle for Ottawa in this meeting. The hosts have just played a match in Newark, so some fatigue may well take its toll. But now Green's team is in excellent condition and finds opportunities to win even in difficult confrontations. Ullmark looks especially great, which gives confidence to the entire defense.
St. Louis also managed to break an unsuccessful streak, but the victory over Columbus turned out to be far from ideal. The visitors once again allowed the opponent to create a lot of dangerous chances and conceded three goals. Such mistakes can be even more costly against Ottawa. Most likely, the hosts will try to act without unnecessary risk and will not immediately increase the pace. At the same time, their current organization of the game should be enough to cope with an unstable opponent.
Our prediction is that Ottawa will win the match in 1.77
