Ottawa Senators vs New Jersey Devils Prediction: Betting on a Total Over

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on December 30. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Ottawa shows frankly weak hockey this season. With 26 points, the team sits in last position in the Atlantic Division standings. The Senators have many games in hand but still need to score points. Until recently, Ottawa had a streak of six straight defeats in regulation time. But then they beat Pittsburgh (5:4) and Toronto (4:2).

New Jersey also does not fair this season. But still, its situation is much better than Ottawa's. With 38 points, the Devils are in sixth place in the Metropolitan Division standings, literally one step away from the playoffs - they just need to improve a bit. New Jersey beat Detroit 3:2 and defeated Columbus in overtime (4:3).

We think it is not worth getting into the outcomes in the upcoming meeting. In the past matches, the teams have registered victories; they will be on a roll and fight exclusively for two points. It is better to note that they are high-scoring teams. We think the rivals will please us with plenty of pucks this time, so we offer a bet on a total over.
