LiontipsBuffalo vs Philadelphia. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (January 10, 2023).
Command Analysis
Buffalo had a five-game winning streak, but they broke it by losing to Ottawa (1:3). However, the Sabres didn't lose confidence and continued to deliver good results. The team prevailed over Washington in overtime (5:4 OT). Forward Thompson had a fantastic game; he gave an assist and scored a hat-trick. Back at home, the Sabres celebrated success over Minnesota (6:5 OT). Defenceman Dahlin chalked up five points in that game.
Philadelphia also lost a winning streak - they won four in a row before getting crushed by Toronto (2:6). Goalie Hart couldn't save his team from defeat - he saved only 82% of the shots he faced. Before the meeting with Toronto, the Flyers mainly faced weaker opponents, such as Arizona, Anaheim and San Jose - all those teams are in poor form.
