The Buffalo Sabres (5-5-4) will head into the Lenovo Center on Saturday night to face the Carolina Hurricanes (9-4-0). The Sabres were able to snap a 3-game losing streak that began at the end of October with a win over the Capitals to start their November. However, they dropped back-to-back games to Utah (2-1) and St. Louis (3-0). The offense has been atrocious those last 2 games and overall, they have not been producing much. They rank 29th in the league with just 37 goals. While they have not been scoring much, they have been sensational on the penalty kill. They have killed over 91% of their opponents’ power plays which ranks them a top the league. For the Canes, they started off 5-0 but then dropped 3 of their last 5 to finish off last month. They then fell to Boston to start off November but have bounced back and scored victories over the Rangers and Wild in their last 2 games. The win over the Wild was hard fought. After falling behind 1-0 and then 2-1, they lost their 3-2 lead only to battle back with a goal near the end of the 2nd period. They kept the Wild off the scoreboard the entire 3rd to get the victory.Limited Offer. Currently at DraftKings

Our Buffalo Sabres vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction
The strength of the Sabres has been their penalty kill and while that is a key factor, it should not play much into this game against the Canes. The Canes are last in the league in scoring on the power play but still have 9 wins on the season. This proves that they can get the job done while both teams are playing at full strength, which is what takes place for most of the game. We feel comfortable backing the better overall team here at home.
