Edmonton vs Ottawa Prediction: the Visitors to Fight the Hosts?

Prediction for the NHL Edmonton Oilers vs Ottawa Senators match, which will take place on March 15th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Edmonton

Edmonton has been performing well this season. Before this game, the team is seventh in the West standings with 80 points and fourth in the Pacific standings. The result, of course, could have been better, but overall the Oilers' playoff spot is not in jeopardy yet. We note that after beating Buffalo (3-2), Edmonton also won over Boston (3-2), but in the last game, they could not cope with Toronto (4-7 loss).

Ottawa

Ottawa, in turn, has very little chance of making the playoffs. Currently, the Senators are only 12th in the Eastern Conference standings and sixth in the Atlantic Division with 70 points. If we talk about the team's previous games, after five wins in a row, the results went down - only one win in the previous four. In the last two, Ottawa lost to Vancouver 2-5 and Calgary 1-5.

Expect Betting Tips

• Ottawa has failed three of their previous four games.
• Two of the three previous meetings ended with TO (6.5).

We think that Edmonton will be stronger in the upcoming matchup. No matter how you look at it, they outclass Ottawa sitting in the playoff zone. McDavid and his teammates are unhappy with seventh place in the West, so they must rectify the situation. The Senators have been looking miserable of late - three losses in four games, all in regulation time and with a decent score difference.
