New Jersey Devils vs Buffalo Sabres: The Devils beat the Sabres for the fourth time in a row

Prediction for the NHL New Jersey Devils vs Buffalo Sabres match, which will take place on April 22. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

New Jersey Devils

New Jersey is having another unremarkable regular season. The Red and Black have occasionally had some decent games, but they've still been on a losing streak. All the same, they finished the regular season in good shape, so they've only lost once in their last five games to Colorado (1:3), to Seattle (3:4) and won three times. New Jersey is in 14th place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Buffalo Sabres

Buffalo is another team that is consistently among the league's underdogs. If you take their results since mid-March, they have played 20 games, with 12 wins and eight losses. They would have been seventh in the Eastern Conference standings and a serious playoff contender, but they've played far worse and are now just 11th.

Expert Betting Tips

The teams are approaching the encounter in excellent form, so we can expect a tough and entertaining encounter. In a battle between two equal teams, the slight advantage might be given to the Devils, since they've been stronger in the last three head-to-head encounters. As a result, we suggest betting on a New Jersey win for 1.82.

In 76 regular-season games, the Devils have already conceded 280 goals (3.68 average per game), while the Blades have 278 goals in 78 meetings (3.56 average per game). They have poor records, so we expect a solid performance in the head-to-head encounter and we suggest betting on a total over 6.5 for 1.88.

Yegor Sharangovich is in his second season in the NHL, and he's slowly becoming New Jersey's all-time leading scorer. In 70 games, he's already scored 43 points (22 goals + 21 assists). Moreover, the 23-year-old hockey player is among the top-5 scorers for the Devils, so we suggest a bet on his total over 0.5 for 1.80.
