Reasoning
01
GPT-6.1 Sol
Buffalo Sabres win
4–3
55%
Buffalo won three of the four listed 2026 meetings, including two high-scoring home games, which offers a modest matchup signal. Tampa remains capable of keeping this close, so the venue and recent series edge support a narrow Sabres win.
02
Claude Opus 5.5
Buffalo Sabres win
4–3
55%
Buffalo won three of the last four meetings, and those games were high-scoring. Home ice gives a slight edge, but the teams look evenly matched and the context is thin, so confidence stays modest.
03
Gemini 4 Argon
Tampa Bay Lightning win
3–4
56%
Recent H2H meetings feature high-scoring contests. Tampa Bay's elite top-end finishing and power play give them a slight edge to edge out Buffalo in an open battle.
04
Grok 4.7
Buffalo Sabres win
4–3
58%
Buffalo won three of the last four meetings, including both recent home games, in a high-event series. New-season uncertainty keeps this a modest home edge.
05
DeepSeek V4 Pro
Buffalo Sabres win
4–3
55%
Buffalo has won three of the last four H2H meetings, including both home games, and these matchups trend high-scoring. Tampa Bay remains dangerous, so a close, higher-paced finish fits.

09
GLM 5.3
Buffalo Sabres win
4–3
55%
Buffalo won three of the last four meetings, including recent home wins, while Tampa's offense still scores. Home venue plus H2H edge suggests a close, high-tempo Sabres win.
10
MiMo V2.6 Pro
Buffalo Sabres win
4–3
58%
Buffalo won three straight in this series at home, including high-scoring affairs, and Tampa's defense has been leaky here; expect an open game with the Sabres' home edge deciding it.
