Prediction for the NHL Buffalo vs Edmonton match, which will take place on March 7h. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Buffalo needs to step up at the end of the regular season. The Sabers are now ninth in the East with 68 points and fourth in the Atlantic Division. That's a good result for their level, but the team wants to make the playoffs. So they need to catch up with their bigger rivals. Fortunately, they're not too far away. After an unexpected 3-5 loss to Columbus and an embarrassing 1-7 to Boston, Buffalo beat Tampa Bay 5-3.

Edmonton keeps excellent spirits, as they still sit in the playoff zone of the West standings. They're sixth with 76 points and fourth in the Pacific Division standings. However, McDavid and his teammates shouldn't relax - they haven't secured a playoff spot yet. If we talk about the team's previous meetings, they defeated Toronto (5-2) and Winnipeg (6-3) before last. But in the second half of the back-to-back with the Jets, Edmonton failed 5-7.

• Buffalo has won four of the past five meetings.
• The previous matches against Buffalo ended with TO (6.5).

We think that in this battle, it is not necessary to single out a favorite. The opponents are about equal in terms of condition, performing well, but still do not shine with stability. Note that there were at least seven pucks each in the four previous games involving Buffalo, as well as in the past three with Edmonton. The teams have been excellent offensively and conceding quite a bit - we're likely to see plenty of scoring now as well.
