Wednesday night in the NHL is set to be a good one even though there are only four games on the schedule. One of these games will feature an Atlantic Division matchup between the Buffalo Sabers and the Detroit Red Wings. Let's take a look at the important match statistics and predictions for this Atlantic Division clash between the Sabers and Red Wings.

The Sabers enter this game with a record of 25-32-6 and have 56 points on the season. This is clearly not how they envisioned their season would go as they are in last place in the Atlantic Division and last place in the entire Eastern Conference. The Sabers did however, just snap a six-game losing streak in their most recent game, beating the Edmonton Oilers by a score of 3-2 in overtime.

As for the Red Wings, they enter this game with a record of 30-28-6 and have 66 points on the season. Detroit is in 6th place in the Atlantic Division and is still in the hunt for a Wild Card spot, sitting just a couple of points behind Columbus. However, the Red Wings have lost six games in a row, the most recent being a loss to the Ottawa Senators by a score of 2-1 on Monday night.

Our Detroit Red Wings vs Buffalo Sabres Prediction

Because both of these teams have been inconsistent recently, the over looks to be the best betting option.
