Command Analysis
Buffalo Sabres
USACurrent form
Buffalo has not been able to achieve the desired result for a long time, and even home walls do not help much. It cannot be said that the team is showing a terrible game, the Sabres continue to impose a worthy fight on their opponents in almost every game, but they have to lose time after time either outside of regulation time or with a difference of only one puck. The Blades played at home, where they met with the clear favorite in the person of Minnesota and were not able to show their attacking potential at all, losing dry (0:1). Then the team fought with Vancouver and this time took the game into overtime, where in the end they also had to lose with a score of 3:4.
Ruff charges showed their worst performance away from home to the Islanders, where they once again failed to score a single goal, suffering a rout (0:3). What is especially noteworthy is that the "blades" made even more shots than the "islanders", but their implementation was zero. Returning to their home walls again, Buffalo gave a worthy rebuff to another serious opponent in the person of Colorado, suffering a defeat with a difference of one goal (4:5). Already at the end of the first period, the Sabres were leading with a score of 4:0 and were unable to maintain such a huge advantage. Due to a long decline, the team has already dropped to 13th place in the Eastern Conference standings.
Disqualifications and injuries
It worth noting that Buffalo continues to have roster issues. Greenway, Lafferty and Samuelsson are all in the infirmary. Dahlin is also questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Buffalo allows 3.12 goals per game.
The Blades cannot boast of a reliable defensive game this season and often concede a large number of goals.
- On average, the team takes 28 shots per match
The attacking line, due to its low activity, is often unable to compensate for the deficiencies in defense.
Winnipeg Jets
CanadaCurrent form
Winnipeg still can't get back to its previous form, thanks to which the team crushed all opponents on its way and earned a huge number of goals from the start of the season. The long rise has finally given way to a natural decline, and at the moment the Jets have already lost four times in a row, and all of them ended in regulation time. The team played away, where in the very first match they suffered a crushing defeat from Los Angeles with a score of 1:4. The attack line showed a terrible game, in three periods they managed to make only 14 shots on the Kings' goal. Then the "fighters" went to visit Vegas, where they were able to give a worthy rebuff to their opponent, but due to failures in defense they had to lose with a difference of one goal (3:4).
The away series ended at Dallas, where again there were difficulties both in creating and in realizing moments in attack, which ultimately led to another failure with a score of 1:3. What is especially noteworthy is that even home walls did not help the club to break the losing streak. Returning to the home arena, Winnipeg could not cope with St. Louis (1:4). As expected, with such results, Arniel charges did not hold on to the first line in the Western Conference for long and lost the leadership to Minnesota, and they themselves dropped to second place.
Disqualifications and injuries
It is worth noting that Winnipeg does not have any serious problems with its roster. Only Ehlers and Samberg are in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- Winnipeg converted 31% of its power play attempts.
The Jets have been playing great man-power this season and remain one of the best in the league in that regard.
- On average, the "fighters" allow 2.57 goals per match
The team has also demonstrated very reliable defensive play throughout almost the entire regular championship.

1.56Tip and bets
Buffalo has a great opportunity to break its losing streak, as the opponent is in terrible shape and suffers crushing defeats time after time. The Blades are not performing at their best either, but at least they are giving a worthy rebuff to their opponents, and the home advantage should not be underestimated, due to which the Sabres have every chance to impose a fight on Winnipeg. The Jets perform worst on the road, but bookmakers are giving very high odds for the home team to win, which is what we suggest taking advantage of.
Our prediction is Buffalo will not lose at 1.72
Bet on total
In the upcoming match, we shouldn't expect a lot of goals scored. Both teams have problems with both creating and realizing attacking moments, and it unlikely that anything will change significantly in such a short period of time.
Forecast - total under 5.5 goals for 2.01
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Buffalo, with home advantage, is quite capable of giving Winnipeg a tough time and will not allow their opponent to gain an advantage after the opening period.
Prediction - Buffalo will not lose in the first period for 1.50
