LiontipsNew Jersey vs Buffalo. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (October 24, 2021).
Command Analysis
The New Jersey Devils have won two out of three matches in the regular season. The Devils prevailed over Chicago in overtime (4:3 OT) and defeated Seattle (4:2), but were crushed by Washington with a score of 1:4. The Devils looked confident against the weaker opponents, but were practically helpless against the Capitals, failing to create scoring chances.
We do not expect New Jersey to do very well in this season, because the team wasn't really strengthened in the offseason, and has retained all the problems they had last year.
The Buffalo Sabres have won all three matches at the start of the season. They beat Montreal (5:1), Arizona (2:1 B), and Vancouver (5:2) at home. Jack Eichel, one of the main forwards in the Sabres' roster, is yet to make an appearance for his team in this season, but it seems like they are doing pretty well without him.
The Sabres have done a lot of work on their defensive performance, and the new goaltender Craig Anderson has been doing his part perfectly.

Our prediction - Buffalo to win with Asian handicap (0)
The opponents scored fewer than 6 goals in only 3 out of 10 previous head-to-head games. We believe, that this game will also be high-scoring.
