The NHL Atlantic Division will definitely be one of the most active divisions on next Tuesday night calendar, and even though the confrontation between Ottawa Senators and Buffalo Sabres isn’t expected to be one of the most spectacular, it will be a great opportunity for Buffalo to leave the last spot of the Eastern Conference just before the end of the regular season.

Taking that into consideration, it must be a clear signal for Ottawa Senators to afront this game with full engagement, because even when their risk of losing their playoffs’ spot isn’t very high, they must try to keep their highest possible level in the last part of the regular season. In this matter, Brady Tkachuck still remains as the top scorer of the Senators with 29 goals scored, but he holds a streak of 3 games in a row without scoring or assisting.

Meanwhile, Buffalo Sabres currently remark as the only team in the Eastern Conference that has been able to win four out of their last five games, so despite being the third worst defensive line in their Conference, they ironically note as one of the best offensive lines in the NHL with 239 goals scored. With those numbers in mind, they’re expected to carry on scoring 5 or more goals per game, just like they did against the Capitals and the Penguins, recently.
