The NHL Atlantic Division will offer an amazing confrontation to be played next Saturday night, when Detroit Red Wings receive Buffalo Sabres at 05:00 pm Central Time at the Little Caesars Arena. Most of that great expectation resides on the bad performance that both teams are having, so this game must inspire them to increase their competitiveness.

On the one hand, Detroit Red Wings currently have a streak of 3 losses in a row, being worth mentioning that one of them was against Buffalo Sabres some days ago (5-3). With that in mind, this game must be considered as a revenge opportunity for the Red Wings, who definitely need someone to take advantage of the amazing assist performance that Lucas Raymond currently has.

On the other hand, Buffalo Sabres have a streak of 2 losses in a row, notably remarking as the second worst defensive of the Atlantic Division with 40 received goals. Even so, their offensive has proven to be on a good shape, so they must try to recover the level that allowed them to conquer a streak of 3 victories in a row, but without fully depending on Tage Thompson, who scored 4 goals and gave 5 assists during their last 5 games.
