NY Rangers

Peter Laviolette continues to work on the roster. The team has already started to perform better compared to the first half of the season, but there is room to grow. Through eight games in a row, the Rangers are picking up points. That's not to say they've been easy. For example, in games against Dallas, Colorado and Montreal, the Rangers fought hard but lost in overtime or shootouts.

New York is gradually approaching the wild-card zone. Not to say that the team is moving fast and fast, but there is progress. At the moment, the Rangers are content with 11th place and have 48 points, four less than eighth-place Boston.

Ottawa

Travis Green has put Ottawa on a winning streak. The Senators have earned points in their last six games, with five of them being wins. Only the Senators had problems with Washington, but they looked pretty decent - 0:1 in overtime. Thus, in the Eastern Conference standings, Ottawa managed to climb into the cup zone, or rather to the seventh position, having a total of 52 points.

Expert Betting Tips

There is no favorite in this pairing. Ottawa recently shows more convincing hockey, but the home stands of the Rangers compensate this. In our opinion, we should not expect a large number of scored pucks here. The Senators are the worst team in the East regarding high-scoring meetings. The standard total over was reached only in 20 games out of 46 with their participation. The New Yorkers are not much better - in 24 out of 46. All in all, let's bet on the total under.
