Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on December 20. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Calgary surprises with its persistence. Even without stable conditions, somehow they manage to stay in the playoff zone. So, at the moment, the Flames are in the top-8 of the Western Conference, with the same number of points as Colorado - 36. If Calgary loses this game, they risk dropping out of the top eight, as the Avalanche will face San Jose in their next game, against whom they have a good chance of success. So in the match with Ottawa, the Flames need to do everything possible to earn points.

Ottawa has gained a gorgeous form. They have earned eight points in five edge games, losing only to the Islanders with a score of 2:4. In the next four, the Senators managed to win, and twice in a blowout, once in a blowout and once outside of regulation time. Thus, Ottawa stormed into the Cup Final Eight, currently sitting in eighth position with 34 points. The Red-Black can not relax yet, because the lower-ranked Pittsburgh has only one point less.

Ottawa has four wins in a row for the first time this season, of course, they will want to extend their winning streak, especially since the opponent's class allows them to do so. Calgary performs extremely unstable at home and away, which is why the club has fallen from the top of the West table to the middle. In the last four games, the Senators have scored three goals to win. In the match with Pittsburgh, they scored their third only in overtime, but they had no problems with Anaheim, Carolina and Seattle. In our opinion, it is safest to bet on the guests' goals in this pair.
