Tampa Bay vs Ottawa: The Senators were wrongly written off

We will tell you in what conditions the opponents are approaching the match and advise some great options for betting.

Tampa Bay are in great form. The club has had four wins in the last five games, thus adding eight points to their piggy bank. Thanks to that, the Lightning climbed to third place in the Eastern Conference standings, overtaking Washington. They also finished third, two points behind first-place Toronto in the Atlantic Division. Tampa Bay outscored Los Angeles (3-2) in overtime in the last game.

What happened to Ottawa? Ottawa’s performance has been nothing short of spectacular. The penultimate team in the Eastern Conference had two huge wins in their last two games over the leaders - just over Tampa (4-0) and as much as 8-2 over Florida. The Senators got off to a flying start and aimed for the playoffs. The club is 12 points shy of the playoffs. 

Bookmakers don’t believe in a win for the visitors, not at all. Recall that in the game before last, Ottawa skated over their rival, scoring four unanswered pucks. Yes, back then, it was a home game, but away, the Senators were pretty good - three wins in the last three games, with a combined score of 13-6. We think that Ottawa will once again take the upper hand.
