Buffalo Sabres vs San Jose Sharks: We Prefer Sharks

Buffalo

Buffalo shows disappointing results. The team has had no wins in the past four games – two defeats with overtime and two without it. Thus, the Sabres lost six points, so the difference between them and the playoff zone increased to ten. It should be noted that Buffalo is just terrible in its arena, and it has shown the worst statistics in the East for the ten matches – one win and nine losses. It makes no sense to talk about the playoffs with such a game.

San Jose

After a two-game winning streak, San Jose failed twice. First, he lost 5:8 in a fierce match to Pittsburgh, and then there is a crushing defeat from Detroit (2:6). Let's note that even though the Sharks were inferior, the fights were highly spectacular. San Jose is three points away from the fourth Edmonton in the Pacific Division standings, so it's time for him to end this series.

Expert Betting Tips

In our opinion, the Sharks are the favourites of the game. In the last ten home games, Buffalo earned only three points – this is negligible. San Jose needs to win now because it lacks a bit to make it into the playoff zone. Prediction: San Jose wins the match.
