Buffalo vs. Boston: NHL Match Prediction

Current form

Buffalo completed a four-game road series that ultimately turned out to be a failure. In the first match, the team met with Seattle and showed a terrible game in defense, allowing the Kraken to create and realize dangerous moments in attack time and again, which ultimately led to a 4:6 defeat. Goalie Levi also failed to cope with his task, reflecting only 84% of the shots. The offensive line tried its best to compensate for the lapses in defense, but could not show such a productive game as the opponent. They managed to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans in the next match, taking advantage of Vancouver terrible form and winning by a difference of one goal (3:2). What is especially noteworthy is that the Canucks had the advantage until the third period, but the Sabres were able to turn the outcome of the match around, scoring two goals in the final twenty minutes. Goalkeeper Luukkonen showed a great game, reflecting 94% of shots, which allowed us to achieve the desired result. Forward Kulikh also distinguished himself, scoring a goal and giving two assists.

As expected, the Blades were unable to continue playing in the same spirit. In the match with Calgary, they had to suffer a 2:5 defeat. Once again, goalie Luukkonen did not show his best game, reflecting 87% of the shots. However, it is worth noting that the defeat happened only because the goalie was pulled, which led to two missed goals while shorthanded. Then the club went to visit another clear favorite, Edmonton, and this time they were unable to fully realize their attacking potential, although they made a huge number of shots at the Oilers' goal. But there were serious problems with their implementation, which ultimately led to a defeat (2:3). Indeed, Buffalo decline has already dragged on for a very long time and because of it, the team dropped to the last line in the Eastern Conference standings, having only 41 points, which is critically low.
