Command Analysis
Detroit Red Wings
USACurrent form
Detroit was very good at the beginning of the new year and even managed to gain a foothold in the top eight in the East. Now, the team led by Todd McLellan has fallen back to the 12th position in the conference and lost momentum. The Wings have scored 66 points in 64 starts and are only four points behind eighth-placed Columbus so far. The Michigan State team is in frankly bad shape and has lost six games in a row in regular time. On the road, she lost to Washington (2:5) and could not get through the Ottawa defense (1:2).
The hosts continue to lose due to a very weak game on the other half of the ice. In the last five games, they scored only nine accurate hits, which is very low by NHL standards. Lucas Raymond is more often involved in scoring goals than other players on the team. The Swedish striker scored 66 points (22+44) in the goal+pass system.
Disqualifications and injuries
Andrew Kopp, Carter Mazur and Jack Petrie will not play against the Blades.
Interesting betting trends
- Detroit scores 2.84 goals on average.
- The Red Wings are thrown only 27 times per game.
Buffalo Sabres
USACurrent form
Buffalo closes the Eastern Conference table and has been in last place for a long time. The club from the suburbs of New York has only 56 points in its piggy bank after 63 games and is behind Pittsburgh, which occupies 15th place in the East. Lindy Ruff's men were not bad at the beginning of February, but since the end of February they have won only one out of seven matches. On the road, the Blades lost to Tampa (5:6) and Florida (0:4), and at home they managed to sensationally beat Canadian Edmonton (3:2).
The Sabres play terrible defense and concede 3.49 goals per game during the current regular season. They have conceded 21 goals in the last five games, while only once in the last seven matches the red light outside their goal has not turned on at least three times. Ukko-Pekka Lukkonen remains the main goalkeeper of the guests. The Finn deflected a modest 89.21% of shots and scored two crackers.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jiri Kulich will not come to Michigan with his partners. The participation of John-Jason Peterka is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Buffalo is conceding 3.49 goals per game on average this season.
- The New York club throws 27 times per match on average.

1.48Tip and bets
Detroit is losing a lot at this stage of the season. Krylia are returning home after a series of setbacks on the road and really want to win. The Michigan State team is still fighting to get into the playoffs and it is extremely necessary for it to take points in duels against league outsiders. Buffalo is very weak and plays terrible defense, so Todd McLellan's players simply have to win. We think that the hosts will be able to beat the blades with the support of their native stands. We offer a bet on the success of the first ones with a zero handicap.
Our prediction is that Detroit willwinwith an Asian handicap (0) in 1.65
Betting on an individual total
Detroit is not scoring too much at this stage of the season, but the hosts have a powerful offensive line, which must differ in each match by a large number of goals. Buffalo is unreliable on its half of the ice and very rarely misses at least three times. We believe that Krylia will easily throw at least three or four goals into the opponent's goal.
Prediction - Detroit's individual total is more than three goals in 1.70
Bet on the total
Both teams are not doing their best on their own half of the ice and quite often fail defensively. Detroit has to improve in terms of chances, and there is no doubt that the hosts will go ahead from the first minute. Buffalo has something to answer, so we are waiting for the game on the opposite course, which should be quite effective.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.57
