Prediction for the NHL match, which will take place on October 28th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

New Jersey has incredible ambitions and is ready to take on big challenges. Their rebuilding is over, as the Devils had a perfect season last year. Now, the young players have gained solid experience to be even more successful. At the same time, this debut is not going well for them. In six games, they have only three victories. The team earned one point against Arizona, losing 4-3 in a shootout, and two other times they have been scoreless. The Reds and Blacks sit in sixth place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Buffalo has been on the rise in recent years. The only difference is that they missed the playoffs by a few points last season. Still, the Sabres have chosen the right direction and should make it in the cup race. In the debut of the current season, they look humble. They have only three wins in seven meetings, beating Tampa Bay 3-2, the Islanders 3-2, and Ottawa 6-4. In the remaining four, Don Granato's men have lost in regulation, occupying 12th place in the Eastern Conference standings.

New Jersey and Buffalo have similar current stats, so we expect an intriguing battle between two young and developing teams. The Devils made the playoffs last season and also advanced past the first round. In addition, they have failed their previous three home games in a row. So they will be highly motivated to improve. 

This H2H confrontation tends to be spectacular. In the five previous meetings, the teams scored 35 pucks (7.00 average per game). This season, the Devils are not afraid to achieve results. In six games, they have shot and conceded 47 pucks (7.83 on average).
