New Jersey Devils vs Buffalo Sabres Prediction: Result in Every Match Without Exception

Prediction for the NHL New Jersey Devils vs Buffalo Sabres match which will take place on April 12th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

While the Devils will play with New York Rangers in the first round of the playoffs, if they manage to win Carolina and become the leaders of the Metropolitan Division, Lindy Ruff's team will have an easier competitor than the rivals - Florida, Pittsburgh, or New York Islanders. Why wouldn't New Jersey try to finish the regular season powerfully, making life easier for themselves in the first Stanley Cup game?

In the previous match, New Jersey lost to the leader of the Eastern Conference, Boston (1:2), but before that, they won twice – 5:1 over Pittsburgh and 8:1 over Columbus. In addition, on the eve of the meeting with Buffalo, the Devils have four home wins in regular time.

In the last nine matches, the Sabres have only two defeats, and only one was allowed in regular time. The team has enormous motivation – only four points separate Buffalo from the wild card zone, which means the Sabres still have theoretical chances of reaching the playoffs. Just before leaving for New Jersey, Buffalo won three times, and to Detroit (7:6 by shootout), the Sabres beat the opponents of the Eastern Conference – Carolina (4:3) and New York Rangers (3:2 by shootout).

New Jersey has four home wins in regular time. However, Buffalo has regularly gained points lately, losing only one game within 60 minutes of the previous nine. The Sabres will take advantage of the chance and still make the playoffs this season, so they are fighting for the result in every match without exception. So Dan Granato's team has been underestimated. We bet on Buffalo, as well as on a draw in regular time.
