Next Friday night will bring one of the most important matches of the season for the Buffalo Sabres, as they will face their second straight chance of qualifying for the second round of the NHL playoffs. However, this time they will face this game on the road, so the Sabres’ chances of taking the offensive initiative are limited.
Despite this, it cannot be ignored that the Buffalo Sabres won their two games of the series played at the TD Garden, so it makes sense from the bookies’ odds to have the Sabres slightly favorites. With the series in mind, players like Alex Tuch, Tage Thompson, and Rasmus Dahlin are expected to put their names on the scoreboard for this decisive Game 6.
Meanwhile, the Boston Bruins are expected to be fully motivated after being able to extend the series with their most recent 2-1 overtime victory over the Buffalo Sabres in Game 5. Considering this, David Pastrnak is expected to score some goals before the end of the regular season, it being worth noting that he was only able to score two goals throughout the season.
