Ottawa Senators vs Boston Bruins Prediction: The opponents are of a completely different level

Prediction for the NHL Ottawa Senators vs Boston Bruins match, which will take place on December 28. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Ottawa is one of those teams that have been in the middle of a personnel rebuild over the past few years, but we should have expected a breakthrough from the Red and Black. The Senators have decent stretches, but no more than that. For example, they had a four-game winning streak in the equator of December, but then they one by one lost to Minnesota 2:4, 1:5 to Winnipeg, and the day before, they lost to Washington 2:3 in overtime. Three straight losses leave the D.J. Smith team in 14th place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Jim Montgomery was appointed as the head coach, who surprisingly quickly adapted to the new place of work and immediately began to show great results. The Bears have already played 33 games, allowing only six losses with 27 wins. Moreover, they didn't leave the ice without a point in the last seven games, winning six games and losing to Los Angeles 2:3 in overtime. Of course, Boston leads the Eastern Conference standings.

Ottawa and Boston are rivals at the moment at a very different level. The Senators are having another modest regular season, causing them to have an active streak of three straight losses and 14th place in the standings in the East. Meanwhile, the Bears are leading the conference and in great shape, as evidenced by four consecutive wins. In the last two face-to-face meetings, the Red and Black were stronger, but now the Yellow and Black have to revenge, so a bet on the victory of Boston with the odds of about 1.84 is inevitable.

Not only does Boston score points in almost every game in the current regular season, but they also score a lot. In the four previous meetings, the Bears scored 18 pucks (4.50 average per game). At the same time, Ottawa has problems with defense, as evidenced by the 12 missed pucks in the last three games (4.00 average per game). Moreover, in the only game of the season, Ottawa conceded five times, so the best option for the prediction seems to be an individual total of Boston over 3.5 pucks for 2, and separately we should bet on the total over 0.5 points of Charlie McAvoy for 1.80.
