Analysis and forecast for the NHL match Pittsburgh Penguins – Buffalo Sabers (10/17/2024)
The 108th NHL season is gaining momentum. Four meetings will be held on October 17. In the first of them, Pittsburgh and Buffalo will compete on the ice of the PG Paints Arena. The first confrontation is scheduled for 2:00 Moscow time.
Pittsburgh started the season relatively well. Of course, they lost to the Rangers (0-6) and Toronto (2-4), but they beat Detroit (6-3) and Montreal (6-3). Where they could score points, Mike Sullivan’s men did. They can’t compete with the favorites.

The Penguins roster leaves a lot to be desired. Fortunately, the club’s longtime leaders, Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, maintain their imprint. The Canadian’s performance record remains poor. In four games, he only recorded three assists, but the Russian is clearly on a roll.
In the last three games, Malkin scored one goal and had six assists. The striker repeated the surprising achievement of Alexander Ovechkin. He is only the second active player to score two or more points in three consecutive games at age 38 or older.
Evgeniy moved up to 36th in points in the NHL, passing Jerome Iginla. It has 1303 points. Another Pittsburgh veteran, Kris Letang, believes Malkin is playing better defense this season and is more involved. In his opinion, the 38-year-old Russian’s thinking has changed.
Evgeniy speaks with enthusiasm and leads the team. It has complete order with motivation and tone. All that remains is to wait for Sidney Crosby to help him completely. Games like the one coming will help the Canadian striker get in shape.
Buffalo has high expectations for the season. Lindy Ruff, who can easily be called a living legend of the club, is back. Once upon a time, thanks to his efforts, the Sabers regularly participated in the Stanley Cup. The new chapter of its history is still being written in muted colors.

Buffalo lost to Los Angeles (1-3) and twice to New Jersey (1-4 and 1-3), and in the last game they beat Florida (5-2). One would imagine that a win against the defending champions would inspire Lindy Ruff’s team. However, it’s worth noting that he didn’t beat the Panthers’ core.
First of all, Sergei Bobrovsky remained in reserve. Second, Florida captain Alexander Barkov and permanent leader Matthew Tkachuk did not play due to injuries. If not for the injuries, the Panthers probably would have beaten Buffalo. The Sabres’ resurgence is not going as planned so far.
Hockey players acquired by the Club in the off-season do not bring tangible benefits. Perhaps Lindy Ruff simply needs more time to bring out her best qualities. However, there is still a strong feeling that Buffalo simply made the wrong decision with the transfers.
You can bet on Pittsburgh to win in regulation time in the next game at bookmakers with odds of 1.92. You can expect surprises from Lindy Ruff’s team, but something tells you that this time there will be no sensations. Pittsburgh is on the move and looking much more interesting.
It is very possible that Malkin will achieve the result again. The forward was recognized as the first star of the meeting with Montreal. He is motivated and charged. Keep it up! Another 23 points and the Russian will tie Buffalo legend Gilbert Perrault. At this rate, Evgeniy will conquer this level very soon.
Predictions and bets for the NHL match “Pittsburgh” – “Buffalo” on October 17, 2024
Pittsburgh looks better than Buffalo this season. Evgeni Malkin makes me very happy. The Russian has a great influence on the team and helps them win. The crowd support should help the Penguins beat the Sabres. Perhaps Lindy Ruff’s team will improve as the season progresses. Meanwhile, they are considered one of the leading suppliers of glasses.
Tender: Pittsburgh victory in 1.92.
