LiontipsBuffalo vs New Jersey. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (December 30, 2021).
Command Analysis
Before the break in the NHL, Buffalo finally managed to end their long losing streak which had reached seven games. The Sabres traveled to Winnipeg, where they confidently beat the Jets with a score of 4:2. The Sabres' goalie Luukkonen saved 34 out of 36 shots on goal. After that, Buffalo prevailed over Minnesota in a shootout (3:2 SO).
In their third away game in a row, the Sabres suffered a defeat to Pittsburgh (2:3), but despite losing, Buffalo looked solid and put up a good fight.
New Jersey continue to deliver terrible results. Their losing streak has reached six games, in which the Devils didn't earn a single point. The main problem of the Devils is their terrible play on the defensive. On average, New Jersey concede more than three goals per game.
Away from home, the Devils show their worst performance. For example, they were recently crushed by Philadelphia (1:6) and Detroit (2:5), and goaltenders Schmid and Blackwood were completely unreliable in those fixtures.
