Returning to the home arena, Boston nevertheless broke its two-match winning streak. The team faced far from the most serious opponent in the face of Toronto and clearly underestimated him, played poorly defensively and was defeated with a score of 2:4. The attacking line also showed itself from the worst side, in three periods it was possible to make only 20 shots at the Maple Leafs goal. Next, the club went to visit Buffalo, where it took advantage of the opponent's slump and snatched Victoria from him in overtime (4:3). Striker Pastrniak played superbly, scoring the puck and giving two assists.
Minnesota continues to show unstable results, alternating wins with losses. At the moment, the team is holding an away series, which it started away from Tampa Bay, having suffered a defeat with a score of 3:6. Goalkeeper Gustavsson did not cope with his main task, reflecting only 82% of shots. As expected, the savages quickly rehabilitated themselves in front of the fans for this failure, snatching Victoria from Florida in regular time (3:2). The score could have been devastating, as in three periods the Wild scored an incredible 50 shots on the Panthers' goal, but the puck stubbornly missed the target.
Bookmakers do not single out a favorite in the upcoming match and give the teams approximately equal odds to win. Indeed, both clubs have recently shown unstable results, which makes it difficult to determine the winner. Nevertheless, it should be borne in mind that in face-to-face meetings, savages have been steadily achieving the desired results for a long time. We believe that this meeting will not be an exception, so we suggest betting in favor of the guests.
