Ottawa Senators vs Florida Panthers: Panthers get a comfortable win in Canada

Prediction for the NHL Ottawa Senators vs Florida Panthers match, which will take place on March 27. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Ottawa Senators

Ottawa is failing in the regular season. The Senators are still rebuilding, but they could not develop a capable team. In the last seven meetings, they could win only twice and they beat Philadelphia and Winnipeg 3:1 and 5:2, respectively. As a result, Ottawa currently sits just 14th in the Eastern Conference standings, with no chance of making the playoffs.

Florida Panthers

Florida is finally experiencing the best stretch in their history. For the second year in a row, they made the playoffs. The Panthers have been excellent all regular season, and now they've strengthened their squad even more. They finished the regular season in fine fashion. They had only one scoreless exit in their last ten meetings, losing to Vegas (3:5) and Los Angeles (2:3). In the other eight games they had only wins, which allowed them to climb into first place in the eastern standings.

Expert Betting Tips

Ottawa and Florida are currently at different ends of the Eastern Conference standings. While the Senators are among the underdogs, the Panthers are leading the way with an inspired performance. The Canadian team is capable of surprising occasionally and winning, but this game is unlikely to be one of those times. Moreover, D. J. Smith's team lost their last three games on home ice by a combined score of 10:18, which suggests betting on Florida's victory with a handicap (-1.5) for 1.83.

Ottawa and Florida have been enjoying a high level of performance and entertainment of late. In their previous 11 head-to-head encounters, the two teams have combined for 81 goals (7.36 average per game). In the upcoming game, the Senators and Panthers are not direct competitors, so they are unlikely to be prevented from producing another goal-rich battle. With this in mind, we suggest betting on a total over 6.5 for 1.90.
