Buffalo vs Montreal Prediction: Last Chance for the Sabres

Prediction for the NHL Buffalo Sabres vs. Montreal Canadiens match, which will take place on March 28th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Buffalo

Buffalo missed a lot of points this season, which kept them out of the playoff at the end. The Sabres now sit tenth in the East and fifth in the Atlantic Division with 76 points. They are six points behind eighth Pittsburgh - there is still a chance, but a very slim one. Nevertheless, Buffalo hasn't given up yet, claiming victories in the last meetings (5-4 over New Jersey and 2-0 over the Islanders).

Montreal

Montreal, unlike Buffalo, hasn't had a chance for the playoffs for a long time. The Canadiens are currently just 15th in the Eastern Conference and last in the Atlantic Division standings with 64 points. The team's recent results have been abysmal - ten losses in 13 meetings. However, in the previous one, Montreal defeated Columbus 8-2.

Expect Betting Tips

• Montreal had failed ten of their previous 13 games.
• Montreal's previous five away meetings ended with the TO (5.5).

We think that Buffalo will be stronger. The Sabres still have a slight chance to catch the wild card, so they must have a great end to the regular season. Right now, almost any mistake could be fatal. That's unlikely to happen in this game. After all, the home team is on a roll after two straight wins, plus they'll play with the fans' support.
