Buffalo Sabres vs Ottawa Senators Prediction & Picks - NHL

Prediction published on 12/23/25, 3:20 PM  by Edgar Jibran in NHL Picks

The NHL will bring a very attractive game to next Tuesday’s schedule, when the Buffalo Sabres play a very tough road game against the Ottawa Senators, teams from the Atlantic Division that are currently having fantastic momentum in the Eastern Conference. Despite that, the Senators were made favorites by the bookies’ odds, as they should look for revenge after losing the first regular season series game against the Sabres.

In this regard, it’s worth noting that the Ottawa Senators have a four-game winning streak, and they were able to score four or more goals during their last three games. Furthermore, their most recent 6-2 victory over the Boston Bruins allowed them to decrease their gap to the Eastern Conference’s playoff spots to just one point, but it’s concerning that only four of their forwards have been able to score ten or more goals this season.

Meanwhile, the Buffalo Sabres are the only team in the Eastern Conference that has been able to win its last six games, a positive streak during which they were able to defeat very competitive teams like the New Jersey Devils, the Edmonton Oilers, and the New York Islanders. Nevertheless, the Sabres have only been able to score more than three goals during their 5-3 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers.
