LiontipsEdmonton vs Buffalo. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (October 19, 2022).
Command Analysis
Edmonton have played two games in the new season, and it is hard to judge the team's form yet. In one game, the Oilers made an unbelievable comeback and beat Vancouver (5:3), in the other one they lost to Calgary (3:4). So far, Edmonton showed the worst performance in the first 20 minutes of each game; against Calgary, for example, they even had to substitute the goalie. But Stuart Skinner, who came on as a sub, gave a shutout performance.
Buffalo have a good team this year and can be a strong playoff contender. The Sabres have also played two games so far. In the first one, they beat Ottawa (4:1), but then they had to face Florida. The Sabres put up a good fight but nevertheless lost (3:4) to the Panthers. In comparison with the previous season, Buffalo are demonstrating more interesting combination play and are more solid on offense.

Tip and bets

Our prediction - Asian handicap (+1.5) to Buffalo
Buffalo scored more than two goals in the previous two games. Edmonton didn't pay a lot of attention to their defenses and mostly focused on creating scoring chances. We think, that the Sabres will be able to deliver three or more goals in the upcoming game.
