Los Angeles - Buffalo: betting tip (cf. 1.85) and bets on the NHL match

The Kings' last meeting with Ottawa almost ended in a real failure, although after two periods the hosts led by 5:1. In the second twenty minutes, the team scored four goals in a row thanks to the productive actions of Trevor Moore, Mikey Anderson, Yoel Armia and Artemy Panarin. However, after the break, the situation changed dramatically. The Canadians gradually closed the gap, and two minutes before the end of regular time, Shane Pinto restored equality. Only in overtime did Quinton Byfield manage to bring the hosts a 6-5 victory. Drew Doughty scored three assists.

At the same time, the recent performances of Los Angeles can hardly be called stable. Before the victory over Ottawa, the team lost to Chicago (1:2), although they had previously defeated the Rangers with a score of 6:3. Even earlier, there was a loss to New Jersey (1:3) and a victory over the Islanders in overtime (3:2). The main advantage remains the presence of several strong performers in the attack. Panarin is able to create dangerous moments almost on his own, and Doughty regularly helps partners by connecting to attacks. However, the defense does not always withstand the pressure of rivals. The last meeting showed especially well how quickly the team is able to lose even a major advantage.

Teige Thompson had a great match against Anaheim, scoring a natural hat trick and making two assists. Thanks to his actions, Buffalo won with a score of 7:6. Moreover, the beginning turned out to be extremely unsuccessful. Already in the first period, the guests conceded twice with a two-goal difference, but managed to restore equality. Then Thompson scored three times in a row, and in the third twenty minutes Jack Quinn and Zach Benson brought the team's advantage to four goals. However, Anaheim almost staged a comeback, scoring three goals in the final period. As a result, the Sabres still retained a minimal advantage.

This was the second consecutive victory for Lindy Ruff's team. Before the trip to Anaheim, they managed to beat San Jose with a score of 2:0, and the attack then acted modestly enough, but the defense practically did not allow the opponent to distinguish himself. Earlier, Buffalo lost to Washington in overtime (3:4) and Philadelphia (1:3). Thompson continues to be the main leader of the attack, and Quinn and Benson are able to regularly participate in creating dangerous moments. However, the last meeting again showed problems with the reliability of protection. Even a four-goal advantage was almost not enough to win, so the visitors will have to act much more carefully in Los Angeles.
