Hockey, NHL, and we have a meeting between two teams that look very different at the moment. The Penguins are in 4th place in the Eastern Conference and have been in really good form lately. The Senators, meanwhile, are in 14th place in the same conference and are struggling to score points.
The Pittsburgh Penguins are always one of the strongest teams in the NHL, and this season they are doing well, especially at home. At home, the team is averaging 3.43 goals scored and 2.33 goals allowed. This is an excellent statistic, the team scores at least one goal more than it concedes on average. As for the Ottawa Senators, this team is struggling. They are one of the worst away teams. On average they score 2.38 goals and concede 3.76.
The Penguins have won 10 of their last 12 games. The form shown is really good and the team can be trusted. The Senators, meanwhile, are the complete opposite. Especially on the road, where the Canadians have lost 8 of their last 10 games. One of the reasons for the Senators' poor play is the long list of injured players. Players like Zaitsev, Ryan, Nilsson, Hainsey, etc. are injured and it is a big loss for the team. The Penguins have a shorter injury list. For this game it is worth mentioning that Crosby and Schultz will not be available, but it should not be a problem for the team to get the win.
So, in the NHL, we're going with the much better-looking Penguins in this meeting with a -1.5 edge. The H2H of the teams adds confidence to this selection. The Penguins have won 10 of the last 11 meetings at home against the Senators. Good luck and have a great game!
