Montreal Canadiens vs Buffalo Sabres Prediction: We tend to favor the visitors

Prediction for the NHL Montreal Canadiens vs Buffalo Sabres match which will take place on February 22nd. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Montreal may not be able to count on playoffs. They have 52 points from 55 games, with 22 wins and eight losses outside of regulation time - 14th in the East. The home team's form hasn't been too good either. In the last five meetings, the Canadiens have won just one game, a 5:0 win over Anaheim, and have lost four times by a combined score of 11:21.

Buffalo can safely play out the season and not chase a playoff spot because it's already out of reach. The Sabres are too far behind eighth-placed Detroit in the Eastern Conference standings, in 13th place with 52 points. The Sabres are in good form away from home. In their last five games away from home, they've won four and lost one, with a combined score of 18:12 - the fourth-best record in the conference over that period.

We tend to favor the visitors. Montreal has performed poorly throughout the season. Buffalo is just a little behind, but there have been periods when they have even claimed a place in the top eight. It's also worth remembering that the Sabres have the best road record in the league, something Montreal can't boast at home - two wins and three losses in the last five games.
