Ottawa - Washington: betting tip (cf. 1.75) and bets on the NHL match

The 4-2 victory over Utah turned out to be a difficult one for the Senators, although the opponent was holding the final meeting of a long-running away series. Travis Green's team took the lead twice, but the visitors restored equality each time. Nick Cousins scored the decisive goal two minutes before the end of the third period, and Shane Pinto hit an empty net. Samuel Ersson played an important role, deflecting 30 shots and preventing his opponent from taking advantage in the first period.

Before that, Ottawa beat Buffalo (2-1), but lost to Anaheim (3-6). In the last four meetings, the team has won three times, gradually improving its results after a difficult trip. Tim Stutzle continues to play an important role in the attack, while Claude Giroux and Michael Amadio help keep the other units active. In addition, goalkeeper Linus Ullmark returned to the squad, whose recovery should increase the reliability of the last frontier.

The Capitals' home series turned out to be controversial. First, Spencer Carbery's team lost to Minnesota (1:5), then lost to Dallas (5:6), although they managed to hit the opponent's goal five times. The situation was rectified in the confrontation with Florida, which ended in a 4-3 victory. The productive actions of Alexey Protas and Pierre-Luc Dubois were especially important, and Logan Thompson helped the team maintain the advantage in the final period.

Now Washington will have to hold the first meeting of a long-term away series. Previously, the team had played on someone else's ice only four times during the season, so its away results are still difficult to call indicative. Alexander Ovechkin remains one of the key offensive players, while Tom Wilson and Dubois are capable of creating serious problems for opposing defenders. However, against organized teams, the Capitals sometimes have difficulty realizing their advantage.
