Boston vs Buffalo: prediction for the NHL game

Boston are in 6th place in their conference and will most likely play Carolina in the first playoffs match. The team has looked great since the main scorers have returned to the ranks. Currently, the Bruins are on a winning streak of three games.

The Bruins defeated the Rangers (3:1), Montreal (5:3), and Florida (4:2). In each of those games, they registered at least three goals. The first attacking line has been on fire, but just their skills might not be enough for a successful performance in the playoffs. 

Buffalo have gained momentum and currently are enjoying a four-game winning streak. This is the first time the team won four games straight in this season. The team is unreliable on defense but compensate for it with their solid attacking performance.

The Sabres beat Philadelphia (5:3) and New Jersey (5:2) away, and then celebrated success over the Islanders (5:3) at home. However, Buffalo don't do well against more powerful opponents, such as Boston, who can take advantage of their poor defense.
