Buffalo is in bad tonus going into the game against Tampa. The Sabres failed the last four meetings in regulation time - 5-3 to Columbus and 7-4 to Pittsburgh (in the preseason), 5-1 to the Rangers, and 3-2 to the Islanders. Of course, the season's opening leaves much to be desired. So, the Sabres will do everything to break the losing streak in their next game.

At the start of the new regular season, Kucherov and his teammates are far from doing their best. First, they lost away to Detroit 4-6 and then to Ottawa (2-5). Tampa needs to reset because such a start is an unacceptable result for this team. Recall that the Lightning played seven games in the preseason, winning five.

• Buffalo has been winless for four games in a row.
• Five consecutive games of Tampa ended with the TO.

Analysts have favored the second team, which is partly understandable, but we do not recommend considering the outcome. The Lightning is now unstable, as their defeat against Ottawa proved. As a result, we suggest taking a closer look at the goals. As mentioned earlier, five of Tampa's meetings ended with the TO. Buffalo's indicator is a little more modest - in four.
