LiontipsBuffalo Sabres - Columbus Blue Jackets. NHL match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Buffalo completed a short two-game home streak, which turned out to be very successful. The team faced very serious opponents and was able to defeat Detroit (4:2) and Toronto (5:3) without any problems due to the smart implementation of attacking chances. It is difficult to single out any of the players, since during both meetings almost all distinguished themselves with effective actions. The Blades were just one step away from consolidating their success away from Toronto, but the opponent equalized in the third period, and as a result, they had to concede in overtime (3:4).
Current form
Recently, Columbus has picked up a good pace and started to regain the lost points. In four matches, the team suffered only one defeat from Washington, however, with a crushing score of 1:5. Goalkeeper Greaves failed to handle a huge number of shots, deflecting only 83% of them. In the remaining meetings, the Blue Jackets beat Tampa Bay (3:2) and Dallas (5:1) in regular time, and also snatched Victoria from Pittsburgh in a shootout (5:4). Nevertheless, the start of the season for the club was not the most successful, and at the moment it occupies only the 13th place in the Eastern Conference table.

2.25Tip and bets
It is unlikely that Buffalo will be defeated by Columbus. The Sabres are in great shape at the moment, and now they have returned to their home arena, where they have not lost for four consecutive matches. The Blue Jackets spent a huge amount of energy and emotions in the duel with Pittsburgh, and the fuse may not be enough for another away victory in a row, so we suggest betting in favor of the owners of the ice.
Our prediction is that Buffalo will win the game in 1.84 seconds.
