Command Analysis
Buffalo Sabres
USACurrent form
Buffalo started the away series quite successfully and in the first match snatched away heavy Victoria from Boston in overtime (3:2). Defender Power showed a great game, scoring a goal and providing two assists. However, after this victory, the team started having problems. The Sabres were unable to contain the pressure of Utah and Minnesota, suffering defeats with a score of 2:5 and 1:4, respectively. The defensive line proved to be the worst, allowing the opponents to create too many dangerous chances at their own goal.
Few people could have expected that the Blades would be able to end the away series on a good note, as they had to fight the leader of the Western Conference. But this time, goalkeeper Rymer played very reliably, and striker McLeod also made a huge contribution to the success, scoring a goal and providing three assists, which together allowed him to win a landslide victory over the clear favorite with a score of 5:3. However, the points scored did not change the club's position in the Eastern Conference table. He continues to stay on the last line.

Ottawa nevertheless broke its long winning streak, which reached six matches in a row. The team played away from Montreal and allowed the opponent to take the lead in the third period, and then missed two goals into an empty net, which led to a 3-6 defeat. Returning to their home arena, the Senators were unable to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans. The team fought against the clear favorite in the person of Colorado and already missed four unanswered goals in the opening segment. It turned out to be impossible to make a comeback, losing by a four-goal margin (1:5).
The senators were able to break the series of failures away from New Jersey, snatching Victoria in regular time (3:2). It is difficult to even single out any of the players, as many have distinguished themselves by their effective actions.

2.05Tip and bets
Ottawa is the favorite in the upcoming match, despite the fact that it will play away, where it is more difficult to prove itself. There are certain reasons for this. Firstly, the Sabres continue to show unstable results. Secondly, the Senators are superior to their competitor in all respects, which they prove throughout the regular season. It is also worth noting that the senators have been playing confidently in away matches lately and often achieve success. So we suggest betting in favor of Ottawa.
Our betting tip is Ottawa's victory in 2.12
Bet on the total
Also, in the upcoming match, it is quite possible to expect a large number of abandoned goals. Both teams cannot boast of a reliable defensive game and often allow opponents to realize themselves in attack. So we choose the total more as the second bet.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.73
Betting on the outcome of the first period
It is worth noting that Buffalo shows a confident game at the start of the match and rarely allows opponents to gain an advantage at the end of the opening segment. So Ottawa may have difficulties at the beginning of the meeting.
Betting Tip - Buffalo won't lose in the first period in 1.51
