Florida Panthers vs Buffalo Sabres Prediction: The Sabres had a tough start to the back-to-back

Prediction for the NHL Florida Panthers vs Buffalo Sabres match, which will take place on February 25. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Florida doesn't boast much in the way of stability. The team has three wins and two losses in the last five games, and all the results are interchangeable. It should be noted that even considering the whole season, the Panthers do not look as lively as, for example, in the past. The team isn't as ambitious and, as a result, is just fighting for a playoff spot. Ahead of their matchup with Buffalo, the Panthers are fifth in the Atlantic Division standings and have as many points as Detroit (64).

Buffalo had a successful first half of back-to-back games. They faced a tough Tampa Bay on the road, which they beat outside of regular time (6:5). Of course, the Sabres left a lot of strength in this matchup, which is why they will play more on defense in the upcoming game. As for the team's position in the Atlantic Division table, they are sixth there with 62 points. The Sabres are just two points away from making the playoffs.

In this pairing, we are more impressed with Florida. Panthers approach the game with Buffalo after a four-day rest, while Sabres had the most challenging game against Tampa Bay on February 24. We should also take into account that the game will take place at FLA Live Arena, where the hosts will feel most comfortable. On this basis, we suggest with reinsurance to bet on the first team not to lose.
