Buffalo - Boston: NHL match betting tip and bets

Current form

Buffalo quickly came to its senses after an unsuccessful start to the away series and a crushing defeat against Philadelphia (4-7). The team went to visit the leader of the Eastern Conference in Washington, where they defeated the clear favorite with a score of 8:5. The Sabres didn't create many dangerous chances in the opponent's zone, but the accuracy of their shots was off the charts. It is difficult to even single out any of the players, as many have distinguished themselves by their effective actions. The Sabres were able to consolidate their success in a duel with Ottawa, in which they again realized their attacking potential, winning a landslide victory (5:2).

Returning to their home arena, the Sabres surprised not only their fans, but also all hockey fans. The team hosted a very serious opponent in Tampa Bay and beat Victoria in a shootout (3:2). It is worth noting that this time the blades showed the most active game in attack and scored as many as 38 shots on Lightning's goal in three periods. However, all these successes practically did not bring the club closer to the playoff zone, and there was no chance of a ticket to the draw.

Disqualifications and injuries

Greenway and Kozak remain in question.

Interesting betting trends

• On average, Buffalo concedes 3.5 goals per game.
• The Sabres receive an average of 10.6 penalty minutes per game.

Current form

Boston doesn't look like itself this season and earns points with great rarity. Due to the recent prolonged recession, the team suffered 10 defeats in a row for the first time since 2010. In particular, it is worth noting that almost all of them ended in regular time, and only Buffalo managed to impose a decent fight, losing in overtime (2:3). Naturally, it was not without complete failures. The Bruins suffered a series of crushing defeats from Tampa (2:6), Vegas (1:5), Los Angeles (2:7) and Anaheim (2:6) due to their terrible defensive play.

Few people could have expected that the bears would break such a long series of failures in a duel with a very serious opponent, Carolina. Goalkeeper Seyman showed a great game, deflecting 38 shots out of 40, and the attacking line excelled, realizing almost every moment of his own, which together led to a crushing victory with a score of 5:1. Almost all the work was done by the first-line forwards Pastrniak, Lindholm and Geeks, who scored a total of 13 effective actions.

Disqualifications and injuries

Castelic, Lindholm and McAvoy will not participate in the upcoming bout due to injuries.
