Command Analysis
Buffalo still managed to break its losing streak, which reached three games in a row. The team played on the home arena, where they faced a clear outsider in the face of Seattle and with great difficulty wrested Victoria from him in a shootout (3:2). Once again, the Sabres had serious defensive problems, which almost led to another setback, but goalkeeper Luukkonen played flawlessly this time, deflecting 32 shots out of 34, which allowed them to succeed. Recall that due to a slight decline and lost points, the team dropped to the third place in the Eastern Conference table.
The Islanders ended their five-game home streak in far from the best way. In the final match, the team faced Pittsburgh and unexpectedly suffered a complete defeat with a score of 3:8. By the middle of the second period, the club had earned a significant advantage, but after only a few minutes it conceded four goals, allowing the opponent not only to equalize the score, but also to take the lead. In the final period, the islanders also played very poorly defensively, allowing the opponent to continue to realize himself in attack, which led to such a sad outcome. Goalkeeper Sorokin played very poorly, who was replaced only at the end of the match.

Tip and bets
Buffalo is the clear favorite in the upcoming match, which, of course, has its reasons. The Sabres have begun to recover from the slump and are fully capable of extending their winning streak. The Islanders finished their home series badly, so they're not in the best state of mind when they go on the road. It is also worth noting that the blades consistently achieve the desired results in face-to-face meetings. Considering all the circumstances, we suggest betting in favor of the owners of the ice.
Our prediction is that Buffalo will win in 1.89
