Washington Capitals are still out of the playoff picture, but they are 5 points behind the New York Islanders (Washington is also one game behind). Naturally, the main goal for the team is to reach the Stanley Cup.
The Buffalo Sabres have much less chance of making the playoffs, as the team has a weak season overall and only 2 spots left in the Atlantic Division, and they will most likely go to Toronto and Tampa Bay.
In head-to-head encounters, Buffalo has a slight advantage, but the team wins very rarely in regular time, so Washington has a chance for points tonight.
Prediction: Washington Capitals double chance. We recommend the “1X” bet, odds 1.55
