Washington vs Buffalo Prediction: the Opponents are Roughly Equal

Washington remains in sixth place in the Metropolitan Division standings with 71 points. In the East, they are 11th. That means the Capitals still have a chance for the playoffs, but they must play hard for the rest of the season. Now Ovechkin and his teammates have improved, but their results still leave much to be desired. In the past four games, Washington has won just one game - 5-1 over the Islanders. The day before, they lost to the Rangers 3-5.

Buffalo has about the same picture. The Sabres also have 71 points, sitting in tenth place in the Eastern Conference standings and fifth in the Atlantic Division. Like the Capitals, they have a chance at the playoffs, but it is time to improve. Before the previous game, however, Buffalo had a streak of four losses. The day before, they beat Toronto 4-3 on the road.

• Buffalo has failed four of their previous five games.
• The past four H2H meetings ended with TO (5.5).

In the upcoming battle, we suggest avoiding outcome and a favorite. Both teams show inconsistent results, so the two points can go to anyone here. Their recent encounters have been quite entertaining, and Buffalo is generally the TO team in the NHL. Washington's games have also often been packed with goals.
