Buffalo Sabres vs St. Louis Blues: The Musicians will cope with an outsider

Prediction for the NHL Buffalo Sabres vs St. Louis Blues match, which will take place on April 15. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Buffalo is a team that has been a consistent underdog in the NHL in recent years. The current regular season is no exception for them. The Sabres have not battled for a playoff spot in a long time, but they do not give a hopeless impression. In the second half of March, they went so far apart that they've scored in eight straight games. They couldn't keep up that momentum, so they've allowed three losses and one win in their last four meetings. They are 12th in the Eastern Conference standings.

St Louis is having another good regular season. In the second half of March, however, they suffered a slight setback, losing five out of six games. Fortunately, they put together a tremendous run in which they scored in nine straight games, eight of which they celebrated success and once lost in overtime to Edmonton (5:6). As a result, the Bluesmen moved up to fourth place in the West standings.

Buffalo and St. Louis come into this head-to-head encounter in very different forms. While the Blades, after a slight upturn in results, have slowed down again, the Musicians, after a brief slump, have regained their form, winning eight of their previous nine contests. Therefore, we suggest betting on a St. Louis win for 1.85.

Craig Berube's men have scored 42 goals (4.67 average per game) in the previous nine meetings. Meanwhile, Buffalo has huge defensive problems, which have worsened recently, allowing 16 goals (4.00 goals per game average) in their previous four games. Therefore, we suggest betting on a St. Louis' individual total over 3.5 for 1.83.
