Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Ottawa vs San Jose, which will take place on March 2nd. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Ottawa

The break didn't go in Travis Green's favour, and after that, Ottawa suffered two straight losses. If everything was obvious with Winnipeg, then in the home match with the Canadiens, they could have shown more convincing hockey.Because of this, the Senators' losing streak increased to five games in a row, and their position in the Eastern Conferenceworsened significantly. Ottawa dropped out of the wild card zone and fell four points behind 

San Jose

San Jose has played well in their last two games, showing their team spirit by fighting back against Winnipeg and Montreal. The Sharks lost 1-2 in overtime to the former and 3-4 (OT) to the latter, but this won't affect their position in the Western Conference as they are still the weakest in the elite, with a total of 39 points.

Expert Betting Tips

Despite the terrible form of Ottawa, we expect a confident victory. Still, throughout the season, the Senators have been showing decent playoff-worthy hockey, but because of this crisis, all the wasted effort will be wasted. Before it's too late, the Senators need to get involved in the fight for the wild card, especially in a game against the NHL's biggest underdog. In our opinion, the hosts will not neglect the opportunity and will earn two points.
