Ottawa returns to the home arena after a long away series, which was completed with a victory. Utah continues its journey through the Eastern Conference and regularly experiences defensive problems. At the same time, the attacking capabilities of the guests deserve attention, so the betting tip for a large number of goals looks interesting, and betting on the total allows you not to choose the winner
Command Analysis
Ottawa Senators
The Senators ended their five-game away streak with a 2-0 victory over Buffalo:1. Travis Green's team lost after two periods, but in the final twenty minutes, goals from Shane Pinto and Michael Amadio allowed the situation to change. Goalkeeper Samuel Ersson played a good match, which helped the team maintain a minimal advantage.
However, the previous meetings of Ottawa were completely different. The Canadians lost to Anaheim (3:6), beat San Jose (5:1) and lost to Los Angeles in overtime (5:6). The team creates a lot up front, but the defense doesn't always withstand the pressure. Tim Stutzle remains one of the main organizers of attacks, and Drake Baterson is able to effectively complete combinations.
Utah Mammoth
Logan Cooley is in great shape and continues to score points. In the previous match against Montreal, the striker scored a hat-trick and added an assist, but even such a performance was not enough to win. Mammoth lost 4-5 in overtime, although they took the lead several times. Nick Schmaltz also made a big contribution, scoring three points.
Andre Turigny's team remains noticeably skewed towards the attack. The victory over Toronto (3:2) was followed by a setback in Montreal, and earlier Utah conceded six goals from Philadelphia (3:6). At the same time, the effective actions of Mikhail Sergachev and Clayton Keller help the guests regularly create dangerous moments, especially when playing in the majority.
Due to their attacking capabilities, the opponents are able to maintain a high tempo throughout the meeting. Ottawa will try to control the puck more after returning home, but it's dangerous to use defenders too actively against Utah. The guests quickly move the game into someone else's zone and make good use of the majority. At the same time, the defense of the Mammoths themselves regularly allows them to create chances, so there is no need to count on a one-sided match. Even a confident start by the hosts is unlikely to remove questions about the reliability of their protection.
For the chosen total, it is not the winner that is more important, but the ability of both teams to realize at least part of their capabilities. Utah is able to score several times due to Cooley's speed and the work of the leading majority, while the Canadians have enough performers to respond. If the meeting quickly stops being cautious, the score may rise noticeably by the second break. Six goals will bring a refund, and seven or more will ensure the passage of our bet.
Our betting tip is a total of more than six goals in 1.82
