Buffalo is having a tough regular season. It seemed that this season, the Blades would be able to compete for the playoffs, as a year earlier, they were as close as possible to solving this problem., the young and ambitious team has become even more experienced, but in fact, there was a regression. If they looked good and often scored points at the beginning of the championship, then in the second half of November and December, they did not do well. Before the break in the championship, the Yellow and Blue lost to Arizona 0:2, Columbus 4:9, Rangers 3:4, and beat only Toronto 9:3. So far, Buffalo is only 14th in the Eastern Conference standings.

Boston is playing well in the regular season for the second year in a row. Last season, the Bears broke several records, not allowing their rivals to get close to them, only to fall out of the playoffs in the first round. They also started the current championship very strongly, and for a long time, they were at the top of the Eastern Conference standings, but before the break in the championship, they still allowed a slight slump. In the last four meetings, the Black-and-Yellows lost to the Rangers 1:2, twice to Minnesota - 3:4 and 2:3, and to Winnipeg - 1:5. The losing streak leaves Jim Montgomery's team in second place in the Eastern Conference standings and three points behind the leader.

Buffalo and Boston are currently located at different poles of the Eastern Conference standings. The Blades are currently only in 14th place, but the Bears occupy the second line. This information alone is enough to consider the visitors as favorites for the upcoming clash. They had a four-game losing streak before the break in the championship, but now they had a great opportunity to rest and return to the ice with renewed energy. The Black and Yellow had won five of their last six meetings.

Before the break in the championship, the Blades started producing bright and productive games time after time. In their last seven games, they have averaged 54 shots on goal (7.71 per game). In addition, in the three previous games, the Blue and Yellow have scored and conceded at least three goals each, so now we can expect a shootout. their face-offs with Boston are traditionally entertaining and high-scoring.
