Ottawa vs Winnipeg Prediction: the Jets Can't Stop Winning

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Ottawa vs Winnipeg, which will take place on February 26th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Ottawa

Ottawa is going through a bad patch of the season. The Senators seem to be getting better and at this rate they could even make the playoffs. They're even doing better in the East, sitting in ninth place with 62 points - one step away from the Wild Card spot. However, their results of late have been awful. Before the break, Ottawa had lost three games in a row, and then lost 5-2 to Montreal.

Winnipeg

Winnipeg has been more consistent this season. To their credit, the Jets remain top of the Western Conference standings with 85 points, nine ahead of second-placed Dallas. That's extremely solid and only Washington, who lead the East, can match that kind of success this season. Scott Arniel's side have been unstoppable of late - a run of ten straight wins speaks for itself. After the break, Winnipeg beat St. Louis 4-3 on penalties and San Jose 2-1 in overtime.

Expert Betting Tips

Ottawa really needs to break their losing streak, but the next opponent is the worst possible. Winnipeg's on a ten-game winning streak. The Jets aren't about to stop their winning streak, especially in a match against the Senators.After the break, Ottawa played a game against Montreal where they were the favourites, but it didn't go to plan. They missed five pucks in a row and lost. In the last face-to-face match about two months ago, the Jets won easily. We reckon they'll win again this time, even with OT and BUL.
