Command Analysis
Buffalo Sabres
USACurrent form
Buffalo recovered from a slight slump and started steadily earning points again. The team has successfully completed the away series. In the final match, the Sabres faced the current leader of the Western Conference in the person of Winnipeg and unexpectedly won a landslide victory over the clear favorite with a score of 5:3. The guests weren't as active in the attack, but the accuracy of the shots was off the charts. The most productive was striker McLeod, who scored a goal and provided three assists. It is impossible not to mention goalkeeper Rymer, who deflected 33 shots.
Returning to their home arena, the Blades faced off against another serious opponent in Ottawa. It was not possible to play reliably in defense, but this did not prevent us from achieving another success (3:2). Once again, goalkeeper Rymer made a huge contribution to the victory, preventing the Senators from making a comeback. However, it is worth noting that the points scored did not help the club improve its position. He continues to remain on the last line in the Eastern Conference table, with only 64 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Greenway, Lafferty and Norris remain in the infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Buffalo concedes 3.5 goals per game.

Pittsburgh Penguins
USACurrent form
Pittsburgh continues its away streak, where it has not been able to succeed so far. In the first match, the team faced Florida and was one step away from success, but just five minutes before the final whistle, the Panthers equalized the score. It came to a shootout, where I had to concede with a final score of 3:4. Once again, the defensive line failed, which allowed the opponent to create a huge number of dangerous chances at his own goal. Despite the disappointing setback, it is worth praising the efforts of striker Rust, who scored the puck and provided two assists.
Next, the Penguins went to visit another clear favorite, Tampa. This time, it was not possible to compensate for defensive failures, and as a result, they had to suffer a defeat with a score of 1.:6. Goalkeeper Jarry was replaced in the first period after missing four goals. Indeed, the Penguins have been suffering from weak defenses throughout the regular season. It is for this reason that the club is only on the 14th line in the Eastern Conference table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Pittsburgh continues to have serious roster problems. Blomkvist, Joseph, and Shi are in the infirmary, and Bemstrom, Malkin, and Novak remain questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Pittsburgh concedes 3.67 goals per game.
- Penguins completed 24% of the majority attempts

2.25Tip and bets
Buffalo got a great opportunity to continue its winning streak. As you can see, Pittsburgh has started to decline again, which is why the team is losing points from match to match. In addition to this, the Penguins will have to compete on the road, where it is even more difficult to prove themselves. The Sabres are also quite capable of taking advantage of the Penguins' problems and, due to the advantage of the home walls, defeating them, which is what we propose to bet on.
Our prediction is that Buffalo will win the match in 1.76
Bet on the total
Also, in the upcoming match, it is quite possible to expect a large number of abandoned goals. Both teams have problems defensively throughout the regular season and often allow their competitors to realize themselves offensively. So there is a great opportunity to choose the total more as the second bet.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.70
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Buffalo, with the support of its home crowd, can create serious problems for Pittsburgh from the very beginning of the match. We believe that the Sabres will take advantage of the opponent's defensive failures and gain an advantage in the opening period.
Prediction - Buffalo wins in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.72
