Jim Montgomery came in as head coach, and there were some great games under him. But the emotions are gone, and now the results are starting to regress again - six losses in the past ten games. For the Christmas break, St. Louis left in a gorgeous mood, beating Detroit with a score of 4:0. After it, the Musicians also gave a great game - 7:4 with Nashville. In the general table of the Western Conference St. Louis is in 11th place with 38 points.

As for Buffalo, for him the season turns out to be a failure on all fronts. They managed to give a series of 13 defeats in a row, with such a huge credit to the mentor that no one fired him. The Blades managed to break the streak by defeating the Islanders 7:1 before the break, and then defeating Chicago 6:2. Of course, after such a terrible series, Buffalo found itself in last place in the Eastern Conference standings, with only 30 points.

We believe that in this matchup it is not worth getting into the outcomes. Both teams look bad on the season, Buffalo is much worse, but even he had two great games the day before, where he first defeated the Islanders (7:1), and then Chicago (6:2). St. Louis is also approaching the game after two consecutive victories, which means both teams are on a high. In general, we can expect a bright hockey game with plenty of pucks. In addition, in face-to-face meetings, the Blues and Sabres have been scoring goals time and time again - in nine of the previous ten games, the total was over (5.5). Let's bet on the classic total over.
