In the next round of the NHL, we will see a match between the Buffalo Sabres and the Pittsburgh Penguins. Will the “bulls” be able to interrupt a series of defeats due to home advantage? Or will “penguins” get a second victory in a row?
Buffalo Sabres
The team from Buffalo is now in bad shape. It is worth noting that they had an excellent first half of the season, was not far from the playoff zone, had a chance of getting into the top eight of the conference. Now the club fell to the thirteenth line in the standings of their conference, they have 66 points on their account, and they are 12 points short to the playoff zone, a big gap! The club has many defeats in recent games; now it has a series of four in a row, all matches away, in each of these matches they did not score more than two goals. There are difficulties with using their scoring chan, and each scored goal comes to the team with great difficulty. There are injured players too. In the previous match, they lost to Winnipeg away 3-1.
Pittsburgh Penguins
We can safely say that the club has a good season, it has stable results if we take into account the whole season. But recently, the Penguins are on the decline, over the past six matches they won only once, all of the defeats were in the regulation. The team has big problems in the offence, it scores a little, although it creates enough chances and it has powerful attacking potential. They managed to interrupt a series of failures in the last game they beat Ottawa in the home arena with a score of 7: 3, Malkin and Crosby played well, who have 4 and 3 useful actions. In the standings, Pittsburgh is in fifth place, and they confidently stay in the playoffs zone.
Buffalo Sabres vs Pittsburgh Penguins prediction
In this meeting, you can bet on the victory of Pittsburgh. The team was unlucky for a long time, it was losing to everyone, there were difficulties in the offence, but in the last game against Ottawa the squad came off to fame. Now they are motivated to win, because if they get a few more defeats, they will leave the playoffs zone, which should not be allowed. The “bulls” have many defeats in a row; the team plays unstably; they are inferior in terms of the roster to the upcoming opponent.
