Calgary Flames vs Buffalo Sabres Prediction: Flames to show their best

Calgary has won all three games since the start of the new season. Will the Flames be able to extend their winning streak against not-so-great Buffalo? Let's pick a few bets at once.

The calendar at the start of the championship was very difficult for the Flames. But Darryl Sutter's team met the challenge with honor. In turn Calgary defeated Colorado (5-3), Edmonton (4-3) and Vegas (3-2), beating all their opponents in regulation time at that. And while you can find some imbalance in the Flames' game on the offensive side, the offense unquestionably makes up for any defensive shortcomings with its power.

Unlike Calgary, nothing is expected of Don Granato's team in this championship. Nevertheless, that hasn't stopped Buffalo from showing great early in the season. In three games, the Sabres have only one loss – 3-4 to Florida. They defeated not only Ottawa (4-1), but also Edmonton (4-2), the Western Conference finalist from last season and even did it on the road. With only 79 games left, should the Sabres keep this up, they are sure to make playoffs.

• Calgary: Oliver Kylington will not play.
• Buffalo: Riley Sheahan will not play.

Buffalo has been showing well defensively at the start of the championship, in particular, conceding only 2 goals in the previous game from Edmonton's Connor McDavid. So Calgary may have some problems in the upcoming game on the attack. Total Under is quite likely, given the head-to-head statistics with the opponents combining for a maximum of 6 goals in their last 10 face-offs. In addition, it's worth taking a look at Calgary. As good as Buffalo is doing surprisingly well right now, the Flames are playing generally like the best team in the league.

Our Prediction: Calgary Not To Lose + Total Under (7.5) for 1.78 at 1xbet.
