Buffalo Sabres vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction: They had very different starts in the regular season

Prediction for the NHL Buffalo Sabres vs Colorado Avalanche match which will take place on October 29th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Buffalo has an excellent generation growing up that is looking to make the playoffs finally. They had a perfect chance to make the playoffs last season, but in the end, they missed by one point. Now, they will try to play even better to get into the coveted top eight. At the same time, their season debut was not the most productive for them, as they lost to the Rangers and Islanders - 5:1 and 3:2. After that, the Sabres began to alternate wins and losses, which they are still doing. This record is only good enough for last place in the Eastern Conference standings, but only three points separate them from the top 8.

Colorado is an even more ambitious and skilled team that recently celebrated a championship. Last season was a disappointing one for them, as they had to take an early vacation after the first round of the Stanley Cup. In the regular season, the Avalanche took care of their play right from the start, defeating Los Angeles 5:2, San Jose 2:1, Seattle 4:1, Chicago 4:0, Carolina 6:4, and the Islanders 7:4. The day before, Jared Bednar's wards went to visit Pittsburgh for a seventh consecutive victory. They failed to get points - 0:4. Despite the setback, Denver remains second in the Western Conference standings.

Buffalo and Colorado had very different starts in the regular season. The Sabres are still looking for their style and are in last place in the East. The Avalanche have a much better situation. They are second in the Western Conference, have a 6-game winning streak since the beginning of the season, and they lost to Pittsburgh the day before, which will only make them angrier. Moreover, the Denver players have won the last five consecutive meetings, which makes them the favorites for this game. 

Colorado is a very experienced team that can play as long as they have good results, but when they start losing points, they act more pragmatically to get back on the winning path. On the eve of the Avalanche's game against Pittsburgh, the Avalanche suffered a heavy 4:0 defeat. Therefore, we expect them to pay much more attention to defense, which should affect the results of the battle with the Sabres.
