Pittsburgh- Ottawa: betting tip (cf. 1.88) and bets on the NHL match

Young Ben Kindel became the protagonist of the Penguins' last meeting, in which the team beat San Jose 3-2 in shootouts. The striker scored the puck in the third period, and then made a decisive attempt in the post-match series. Samuel Girard scored another goal. At the same time, Dan Muse's team missed the 2-0 advantage, allowing the opponent to score twice in the final twenty minutes. Goalkeeper Sergey Murashov blocked 34 shots and helped to achieve victory. 

The success was only the second for Pittsburgh in the last seven matches. Before the trip to San Jose, the team lost to Anaheim (2:5), although they had previously beaten Los Angeles (5:2). There were also defeats from Boston (2:6) and Vegas (2:3). Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin continue to play leading roles in the offense, but the overall performance of the team has noticeably decreased. The situation is complicated by injuries to Brian Rust and several defenders, including Ryan Graves.

Shane Pinto hit the Colorado goal twice and brought Ottawa a 4-3 victory in overtime. The Canadians confidently started the match and led 2-0, but then allowed the opponent to score three goals in a row. The situation was saved thanks to Drake Baterson, who restored equality four minutes before the end of the third period. In extra time, Pinto took advantage of a defender's mistake and brought Travis Green's team two points.

The Senators score points over the course of four meetings, having won three times during this period. Earlier, they managed to beat Utah (4:2) and Buffalo (2:1), and the confrontation with Washington ended with a defeat in overtime (2:3). An important event was the return of Linus Ullmark, who missed nine matches due to injury. Tim Stutzle and Dylan Cozens provide activity on offense, although the team continues to perform without the injured Nick Cousins.
