San Jose managed to improve after two consecutive defeats and beat Vancouver, making an impressive comeback in the third period. The young strikers showed themselves especially noticeably, who helped the team score three goals in a short period of time. Ottawa also showed character in the previous match against Los Angeles, coming back from a four-goal difference. However, they failed to achieve victory, and the Canadians lost in overtime. Now the rivals will meet again after the recent defeat of Ottawa on its site. In our betting tip, we will look at the current shape of the teams and determine the appropriate bid
Command Analysis
San Jose Sharks
Will Smith became one of the main characters of the previous meeting with Vancouver, scoring a double and helping the team to win with a score of 3:2. Moreover, after two periods, the Sharks lost 0:2 and could hardly create serious pressure. However, in the final twenty minutes, the situation completely changed. At first, Smith realized the majority after Dmitry Orlov's transfer, and then restored equality, using the help of Maclean Celebrini. Just 11 seconds later, Mason Marchment put the hosts ahead and brought victory to the team. Yaroslav Askarov managed 23 shots and saved the required result.
This success interrupted a series of two defeats. Earlier, San Jose lost to Buffalo (0:2) and Boston (4:6), although it had previously won two meetings in a row. They managed to cope especially confidently with Ottawa, which the Californians defeated on the road with a score of 6.:2. Then Collin Graf and Jacob Trouba scored a goal and an assist each, and Askarov blocked 41 shots. The offense regularly creates dangerous moments thanks to the activity of Celebrini and Smith, but the defense is not always able to support their efforts. At the same time, the last match showed that the team is able to achieve results even after a bad start.
Ottawa Senators
Perhaps the most disappointing defeat for Ottawa in recent meetings was a trip to Los Angeles. After two periods, the Canadians were trailing 1-5, but in the final twenty minutes they managed to organize an incredible comeback. Dylan Cozens scored twice, Drake Baterson closed the gap, and Shane Pinto restored the tie 100 seconds before the siren. However, in overtime, Quinton Byfield brought the hosts a 6-5 victory. At the same time, Tim Stutzle scored three assists, and Baterson scored a goal and two assists.
The defeat was the second in a row for Ottawa. Before that, the team lost to Vegas (1:4), although even earlier they confidently beat the Rangers with a score of 7:4. Especially noticeable are the problems with the reliability of the defense, which has conceded ten goals in the last two meetings. At the same time, the attack is capable of showing high performance. Stutzle regularly participates in the organization of dangerous moments, and Baterson and Cozens are able to effectively complete combinations. However, the Canadians do not always cope with the pressure of their opponents on the road. Now they have to face a team that has recently scored six goals against them.
Ottawa's last meeting showed that the team is capable of creating dangerous moments even in an extremely difficult situation. The Canadians managed to score four goals in one period, but again faced serious defensive problems. San Jose also regularly makes mistakes, but it has a fast enough offense that knows how to use free zones. Young hockey players who are able to dramatically change the nature of a meeting are especially good at showing themselves. At the same time, the recent defeat of Ottawa will surely add confidence to the hosts before a repeat confrontation.
The guests will try to take revenge and will certainly be active ahead after two defeats in a row. However, San Jose is also interested in continuing the successful series, especially on its own site. Both sides have enough opportunities for effective attacks, and the reliability of defense does not always allow them to maintain an advantage. In four of Ottawa's last five games, at least six goals have been scored. We believe that the upcoming confrontation will be open, and the rivals will be able to overcome the overall total.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 5.5 goals in 1.75
