One of the most uneven NHL games in the next Saturday night schedule corresponds to the clash between Edmonton Oilers and Buffalo Sabres, teams that will meet each other in Rogers Place at 03:00 pm CST. In this matter, this game is such a great opportunity for Edmonton to create momentum after their amazing victory over Vancouver Canucks last January 23rd (6-2).
However, they must face this game with extremely caution, as facing this kind of team that doesn’t have anything else to lose this season is dangerous to every team in the whole league. Additionally, the offensive performance from the Oilers must try to improve its consistency, a very important fact if they want to keep the tag of the biggest favorites to win the Stanley Cup this season.
In Buffalo Sabres’ case, this team won’t have many chances of leaving the last spot of the Eastern Conference if they aren’t able to improve their offensive line, most importantly when playing away games. With that in mind, they aren’t expected to have such a bad game as the one they had against Calgary Flames some days before, a game in which they were totally dominated with a final score of 5-2.
