Buffalo Sabres vs Washington Capitals Prediction: the Competitors Will Not Let Us Get Bored

Prediction for the NHL Buffalo Sabres vs Washington Capitals match will take place on February 26th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

Buffalo is trying to find stability this season. The Sabers are generally fighting for the playoffs, but they lose points. Although now, the team is in ninth place in the Eastern Conference standings with 64 points and fourth in the Atlantic Division. It is a step away from the playoff zone. It is possible thanks to the last meetings of Buffalo, where they scored four wins in five. In the last one, the team coped with Florida (3:1).

Washington shows the same results as Buffalo. Only they played four more matches and have the same points – 64. Therefore, in the East standings, the Capitals are only in the 11th position, and in the standings of the Metropolitan Division, they are the sixth. No one will be amazed if the upcoming playoffs take place without Ovechkin and Co. Before the last match, the Capitals had a terrible series of six defeats in a row in regular time. However, the day before, Washington beat the Rangers 6-3.

These teams are approximately the same level because they have the same points. Moreover, they need these points – it's one step to the playoff zone. We note that Buffalo is a team whose participation there are 7 goals in matches on average. They are in excellent condition. They have been scoring regularly. After the long–awaited win, Washington will also feel the excitement. In general, we think the competitors will not let us get bored.
