Command Analysis
Buffalo Sabres
USACurrent form
Buffalo quickly recovered from an unsuccessful start to the season and continues to please fans with successful results. The team successfully completed the away series, winning a confident victory over the obvious underdog Chicago (4:2). It is worth praising the first-line forwards Thompson and Peterka, who scored two points each. The Sabres were able to consolidate the result at home, where they met a much more serious competitor and again easily won over Dallas with a score of 4:2. This time, the most productive was defenseman Power, who scored an assist hat trick. Goalie Luukkonen also made a big contribution to the victory, reflecting 28 shots out of 30.
Continuing to play at home, the "blades" fought with "Detroit" and this time showed their attacking potential to the fullest, which allowed them to win their third victory in regulation time (5:3). Ruff charges created serious pressure on the "Red Wins" throughout the match, and in the end made 39 shots on goal. Once again, the best player was forward Thompson, who scored twice and also gave an assist. Thanks to the winning streak, "Buffalo" has already risen to seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings, having nine points to its credit.
Disqualifications and injuries
Buffalo continues to play with a full squad, and of the injured players, only forward Zach Benson remains, who may still have time to recover in time for the upcoming match.
Interesting trends for betting
- Buffalo averages 3.3 goals per game
The distinctive feature of the Sabres remains their very active and productive attacking play, due to which the team achieves success.
- The Blades average 10.9 penalty minutes per game.
It true that the team still has problems with discipline; it often breaks the rules and remains in the minority.
Florida Panthers
USACurrent form
Florida completed a three-game home series, which ultimately turned out to be far from successful. In the first match, the team met with Vancouver and was one step away from success, but it went to overtime, where they had to lose with a final score of 2:3. The Panthers were able to rehabilitate themselves for the lost points in front of the fans in the match with Vegas. This time, the team was able to tie the score a few minutes before the final whistle, and then snatched victory in overtime (4:3). The most productive was forward Reinhart, who scored a goal and also gave two assists. It seemed that Maurice charges would give a worthy rebuff to Minnesota, but this did not happen. This time, goalie Bobrovsky played extremely poorly, he even had to be replaced in the third period after five goals were missed, and as a result, the meeting ended in a rout (1:5).
Oddly enough, the Panthers played much better away, beating the Rangers 3-1. The defense showed its best side, and Bobrovsky played much more reliably, which allowed them to cope with a very serious competitor. Florida was able to consolidate its success away to the Islanders, where they routed the Islanders by three goals (6-3). It is impossible not to note the efforts of forward Tkachuk, who scored twice and also gave an assist.
Disqualifications and injuries
Of the serious losses for Florida, it is worth noting the injured forward Alexander Barkov. Also, Tomas Nosek remains in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- Florida is allowing an average of 3.3 goals per game.
The Panthers cannot boast of a reliable game on defense, which often leads to losses.
- The Panthers allowed just three goals while shorthanded.
Florida is not afraid of penalties; the team conceded almost all the goals with its full complement.

In four of the six head-to-head games, the teams failed to score a goal in each period.
2.68Tip and bets
Although Buffalo has gained excellent form, it will be difficult for the team to continue its winning streak, since the current Stanley Cup holder, who continues to show excellent results in away games, stands in their way. Indeed, the Panthers have been performing better on the road lately, where they have not lost for four games. In general, the Panthers are significantly superior to the Sabres in terms of roster, which will be a decisive factor. We believe that the visitors will still be able to take advantage of their advantage and win, which is what we suggest betting on.
Our prediction is Florida victory at 2.08
Bet on total
In the upcoming match, we should definitely expect a lot of goals scored, as both teams rely on the attacking line and are not used to sitting back in defense.
Forecast - total over six goals for 1.81
Bet on the outcome of the first period
It is still worth considering that Buffalo will be playing at home, where due to the home advantage it can give a worthy rebuff to the Panthers at the beginning of the match and perhaps the team will be able to earn an advantage in the starting segment.
Prediction: Buffalo wins in the first period with a handicap of (0) for 2.10
