Buffalo Sabres

The Sabres hosted the Islanders, and this meeting was a back-to-back for the Islanders. The team took advantage of their opponent's fatigue and beat them 3:1. They held on for almost two periods, but Buffalo scored twice at the end of the second period. Skinner and Samuelsson scored, and Casey Mittelstadt had two assists. At the start of the third period, Dylan Cozens increased the Blades' lead to three goals, and that was the end of the game, although the opponent managed to score once.

Montreal Canadiens

The Canadiens also played with Washington on their ice. Martin St. Louis' team took advantage of the opponent's poor form and led 2:0 by the middle of the game - Sean Monahan and Brandon Gallagher scored. However, the Canadiens failed to build on their success. Eventually, they allowed the Capitals to tie the game and take it into overtime, with Montreal conceding their second goal just two minutes before the final siren. Cole Caufield scored in the first minute of the extra period, bringing his team a 3:2 victory.

Expert Betting Tips

Buffalo, at the start of the season, is a low-scoring team. Don Granato concluded the previous championship, when the Sabres just lacked balance, and now pays more attention to the game in defense. In only one game out of five, Buffalo has scored more than five six-point goals - seven against Calgary.
