Next Thursday night is expected to be one of the most wonderful opportunities for the Buffalo Sabres to assault the second spot in the Eastern Conference’s standings. However, playing against the Pittsburgh Penguins isn’t expected to be an effortless task for the Sabres, as the Penguins currently have the best defense in the Metropolitan Division.
Taking this into account, the Buffalo Sabres should be as effective as possible to secure their fifth victory in a row, it being worth noting that they recently defeated very powerful teams like the Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers on the road. Furthermore, the Sabres currently are the second-best defense in the Atlantic Division with 183 goals conceded, so they will have great chances of securing a victory in this game.
Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Penguins have shown a very dual performance, as they have been able to secure very positive results when playing at home but some other disappointing ones when playing on the road. Considering this, the Penguins should be considered strong contenders to win this home game, so they are expected to score more than three goals during the game to effectively extend that positive streak.Limited Offer.
