Washington - Buffalo: betting tip (cf. 1.60) and bets on the NHL match

The capital's hockey players were defeated by Los Angeles with a score of 2:5, although they could have expected to win after the first period. Ryan Leonard opened the scoring, and then Cole Hutson increased the advantage of the hosts. However, even before the break, the visitors hit Logan Thompson's goal twice and restored equality. In the final period, Washington again made several mistakes, which the opponent successfully exploited. The segment after the third missed goal turned out to be especially unpleasant, when the hosts practically stopped creating serious threats.

Prior to this setback, the team had beaten New Jersey (4:2) and Montreal (5:4), with the offense acting fairly confidently in these meetings. Dylan Strome continues to play a big role in organizing attacks, while Tom Wilson and Alexander Ovechkin are able to create dangerous moments when playing in someone else's zone. However, it is not always possible to restrain the rapid attacks of rivals. The problems are especially noticeable when the capital's club is forced to spend a lot of time without the puck. After the last defeat, the coaching staff will probably have to pay extra attention to defense.

The Sabres failed to beat Philadelphia in the previous match and lost with a score of 1:3. The opponent opened the scoring in the first period, and shortly before the break increased the advantage. Buffalo managed to respond only in the second twenty minutes, when Jason Zucker scored in the majority. However, the owners failed to build on their success. In the final period, Cole Knuble scored the Flyers' third goal, definitively determining the outcome of the meeting. At the same time, the Sabres had enough opportunities, but the implementation failed the team again.

This defeat ended a four-match scoring streak. Earlier, Buffalo beat Florida (5:3), and also had productive meetings with Toronto (5:4) and Montreal (3:4). Offensively, the team looks quite dangerous at times, especially when it manages to get the puck to someone else's goal quickly. Rasmus Dalin's return from injury was an important event. The defender is able to add confidence when leaving his zone and playing in the majority. However, it will be difficult for one hockey player to completely solve the defense problems.
