Ontario Reign - Abbotsford Canucks predictions and free betting tips [05/05/2024]

American Hockey League. Playoff 2024. Calder Cup. Best of three series. The score is 1-0. One of the late series in the second round of the playoffs, only one meeting has been held so far, and the favourite of the series won, which is quite surprising for this playoff as teams without game rhythm can't win the first matches yet, but it happened in this series. Ontario Reign will be hosting the Abbotsford Canucks at home.

Ontario Reign

Although, speaking of game rhythm is arguable, because Ontario still played in the first round, unlike the other favourite teams in the second round, just played fewer matches than the opponent, so Ontario Reign does have a rhythm. One might say more, so far Ontario hasn't lost a single match in this playoff.

In the first series of this playoff, they outperformed Bakersfield Condors in two matches - 3:1 and 5:1. And they started the second series of this playoff just like the first, that is with a 3:1 victory; if we draw parallels, then it turns out the second match should also stay with the Reign with a score of 5:1.

Abbotsford Canucks

Of course, parallels can be drawn in both directions, as the Abbotsford Canucks also won a playoff series and they did lose one match, but they didn't lose the first match, only the second, so they aren't as apparent as in the case with Reign.

The Canucks outperformed the Colorado Eagles in the first round in three matches, winning 4:2 and 2:1 in overtime, but lost 4:5 also in overtime. And in the first meeting, they lost 1:3, which was their biggest defeat in this playoff and now they'll have a chance to bounce back.

Head-to-head Meetings
