Current forecast: The game between "Los Angeles" and "Buffalo" could be a turning point for the California team, which suffered two losses at the start of the season. The team will be motivated to show a strong performance in front of their fans. Considering previous victories against "Buffalo" last season, "Los Angeles" has good chances to succeed on their home ice. The results of previous matches and the desire to bounce back from a poor start should motivate the players of "Los Angeles" for a successful outing and a win.
I suggest betting on the "Kings" (Los Angeles) because the "Sabres" (Buffalo) lost in Prague and showed a weak performance. Flights and performances in Europe may have an impact on their game. Furthermore, the player's injury for the "Kings" is not a decisive factor, as even with it they still have a good chance of winning.
Prediction: Total over 5.5 in the Buffalo versus Los Angeles match. With Buffalo coming off two losses to start the season showing signs of trouble both offensively and defensively, and Los Angeles showing progress from last season and having a strong preseason, they may control the game well. Leading up to the match, both teams have undergone significant changes in their lineups. With both teams inclined to play an open style, it is expected that goals will be scored, and the total over 5.5 will be reached.
