Buffalo Sabres vs Washington Capitals: the Caps Straighten Things Out

Washington lost in a crucial match to Pittsburgh. Will the Capitals be able to rehabilitate themselves? Let’s choose several options for the bet at once.

Recently, Buffalo hosted the New York Rangers. The Sabres rallied the whole game but equalised the score in the last minute. It’s a pity that the goal was cancelled because of a violation of the rules, and the Sabres lost again - 1:2. However, Buffalo played a decent match for an outsider who should be happy with the local victories.

In general, the Sabres’ defeated streak has already counted six matches. Don Granato’s team is the 6th in the Metropolitan Division, ahead of Ottawa and Montreal.

The match with Pittsburgh for Washington is also a duel between Ovechkin and Crosby, a classic “matchup” of the last couple of decades. That is why the Caps must be disappointed after the outcome of the home match. Washington was defeated at 2:4, losing at the end of two periods 0:3. Therefore, each of the opponents won once.

The Penguins’ loss was Washington’s third in the last five games. Although it still occupies 1st place in the Metropolitan Division, Peter Laviolette’s team has given ground.

After losing to Pittsburgh, Washington will prepare for the upcoming match responsibly. If the Capitals beat the Penguins, the Sabres would still have some chances of success. Well, as it is, now they do not. Prediction: a victory of Washington.
