Ottawa continues to be far from in the best shape, and the series of defeats has already reached three matches in a row. After an embarrassing home loss to Pittsburgh in a shootout (3:4), the team went to visit Tampa Bay, where they also played poorly defensively, losing by two goals (2:4). Goalkeeper Rymer did not cope with his main task, reflecting only 85% of shots. It seemed that at least Florida would be able to impose a decent fight, but this did not happen. Serious defensive problems arose again, which led to a 3-0 defeat.:6. This time, the goal was defended from the start by Ullmark, who had to be replaced in the first period after missing five goals.
As expected, Buffalo quickly recovered from the recession and began to steadily earn points again. The team broke its losing streak by playing at home, where, although with difficulty, it still snatched Victoria from Seattle in a shootout (3:2). The success was mainly achieved due to the smart play of goalkeeper Luukkonen, who deflected 32 shots out of 34, which did not allow the Kraken to realize their attacking potential. Next, the Blades hosted the Islanders and this time they snatched Victoria in regular time (4:3). Thanks to the points scored, the club remains on the second line in the Eastern Conference table, having a similar number of points with the leader.
It is very strange that the bookmakers do not single out one of the strongest clubs in the Eastern Conference as a clear favorite. The Sabres have already recovered from the recession and are once again steadily achieving the desired results. Ottawa, in turn, is far from being in the best shape, so even with the support of its home stands it is unlikely to be able to cope with such a powerful opponent. There is a great opportunity to take advantage of an unreasonably high coefficient and place a bet in favor of the guests.
Our prediction is that Buffalo will win the game in 2.01
