Prediction for the NHL Buffalo Sabres vs Dallas Stars match which will take place on February 7th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Buffalo Sabres

Buffalo could have been better in the current regular season. We expected the Sabres to be in the playoffs this season, as they were incredibly close to getting into the Cup last year, but now they are even more experienced, and their results have gone to hell. They have suffered many defeats since the start of the season. Only in January did they start to make some progress. In their last 11 matches, Don Granato's wards have won seven and lost only to Seattle (2:5), Vancouver (0:1), Tampa Bay (1:3), and Anaheim (2:4). They are in 13th place in the Eastern Conference standings, but they are eight points out of the top 8.

Dallas Stars

Dallas has made a very encouraging impression in the regular season, but they only confirm their high skill level and ambition. This season, they have an excellent roster that includes talented young players and veterans who can still provide great value. It allows the Stars to show respectable results, which they started to demonstrate from the beginning of the season and continue until today. In the last 11 meetings, Peter DeBoer's wards have won eight times, losing only to Nashville - 3:6, Philadelphia - 1:5, and the Islanders in overtime - 2:3, which is good enough for third place in the Western Conference standings.

Expert Betting Tips

Buffalo and Dallas are two of the few teams that didn't need a break during the regular season. They are tired but gained speed in January, so they can continue to pick up points and improve their standing. It's worth noting that Dallas plays more consistently over the distance, so it will be easier for them to find their game, while the Sabres can't boast. 

The confrontation between Buffalo and Dallas has been characterized by an excellent scoring activity lately. In the past four meetings, the teams have combined for 34 pucks (8.50 average per game), a fantastic statistic. At the same time, the Stars have been on fire offensively, sending 21 pucks into the Sabres' net during this stretch (5.25 average per game) - an impressive result.
