BUF Sabres vs NY Rangers Prediction: expect a draw

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on December 12. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

BUF Sabres

In the last game Buffalo again suffered a defeat, which became the seventh in a row - 5:6 after a shootout from Detroit. The club's management is already seriously thinking about Lindy Ruff's resignation, because the general manager is not coping with his tasks at all. In the last seven games, the Sabres have earned three points, which is their anti-record in the current season. Of course, at this rate, the Sabres may not be able to count on the Wild Card, and its current position in the Eastern Conference standings leaves much to be desired - penultimate place with 26 points.

NY Rangers

The team has been having a lot of problems lately, both offensively and defensively. The recent game against Seattle was one of them. The Rangers played in front of their own stands against an average opponent. It seemed like an easy two points for the New York club, but it was not to be. Leading 3:1, the Rangers made a series of ridiculous mistakes, which the Krakens successfully capitalized on, and the final score on the scoreboard was 5:7. After that, New York managed to surprise everyone again, but this time by defeating one of the NHL's main outsiders - Chicago - 1:2. Thus, the Rangers dropped out of the cup eight, having a total of 29 points in the piggy bank.

Expert Betting Tips

Despite the fact that Buffalo has lost seven games in a row, we do not recommend betting on a Rangers victory. Recall that in the past two games they showed poor hockey with lower-class teams, which gives the Sabres hope for two points. Here we suggest betting on performance. Both teams have poor defense. Thus, in the last five games, the Sabres have conceded 22 pucks, while the Rangers have conceded 19.
