Command Analysis
Buffalo Sabres
USACurrent form
Buffalo completed a three-match away series that did not start very well. In the first match, the team faced Philadelphia and unexpectedly suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 4:7. The defensive line as a whole showed a terrible game, as well as goalkeeper Luukonen, who blocked only 77% of shots. Few people could have expected that the team would be able to regain the lost points away from the leader of the Eastern Conference in Washington, defeating him with a three-goal difference (8-5). The most productive players were Tuch and Quinn, who scored three points each.
Next, the Sabres fought with Ottawa and once again showed their attacking potential to the fullest, which allowed them to win a second confident victory in a row (5:2). This time, it's difficult to even single out any of the players, as many have distinguished themselves by their effective actions. However, it is worth noting that the team started steadily earning points quite late, as there are very few left until the end of the season, and the gap from the playoff zone is 11 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Greenway and Kozak remain in the infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Buffalo concedes 3.55 goals per game.
- The Sabres receive an average of 10.7 penalty minutes per game.
Tampa Bay Lightning
USACurrent form
Tampa Bay has been in great shape for a long time and even managed to earn a winning streak of four consecutive matches, all of which ended in regular time. The team easily coped with all the competitors in its path and often smashed them with a difference of more than one goal. Thus, the Lightning left no chance for Pittsburgh (6:1), Utah (8:0) and the Islanders (4:1). As you can see, the team was distinguished by a very reliable defensive game, as well as excellent shooting accuracy.
However, the lightning's winning streak was still interrupted away from Ottawa, where there were unexpectedly problems with the implementation of attacking chances, of which there were plenty. Of the 32 shots, only one reached the target, which led to a defeat (1:2). It is worth noting that the team shows such results very rarely, but mostly consistently earns points, which allows Tampa to occupy the fourth place in the Western Conference table, and the gap from the second position is only three points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Tampa Bay has no problems with the roster.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Tampa scores 3.58 goals per game.
- Lightning completed 25% of the majority attempts
