The NHL Atlantic Division has dominated the Eastern Conference this season and they’ve almost ensured that 5 teams will be playing in the playoffs. With that in mind, one of the teams that have already ensured their qualification for the playoffs is Florida Panthers, but this team is still on time to improve its position in the standings, so they’re expected to defeat Buffalo Sabres next Saturday.

In this regard, it’s worth noting that Florida Panthers have finally found some balance in their squad after suffering a lot during the last weeks. However, that balance is ironically related to keeping Gustav Forsling as the most participative player instead of having the rest of superstars that were expected to turn this team into a nightmare for the rest of the franchises.

On Buffalo Sabres’ side, this team is already eliminated from the competition, but they’re closing with their participation in the 2024-25 season with dignity, a fact that can be ratified after having a streak of 5 victories in a row that just broke after their most recent loss against Columbus Blue Jackets (3-2). With that in mind, it must be noted that they haven’t conceded more than 3 goals since their 5-8 victory over Washington Capitals.
