Another of the games that will close with the NHL schedule for next Saturday, January 04th corresponds to the clash between Vegas Golden Knights and Buffalo Sabres, teams that will clash at 09:00 pm CST in a game that is totally expected to be dominated by Vegas Golden Knights, as they’ve been one of the most spectacular teams in the NHL so far this season.
In this matter, it must be noted that this will be their fourth home game in a row, and even when they’ve been the best offensive in the Pacific Division with 136 scored goals throughout the season, they only were able to score more than 3 goals in only 1 out of those home games. Nevertheless, their defensive line has been overperforming during their last 10 games in a row, as they only conceded more than 3 goals in only 1 of them.
Meanwhile, Buffalo Sabres haven’t been able to become competitive in the Eastern Conference, currently remarking as the worst team in the Conference with only 33 earned points during the season. Ironically, they’re the second-best offensive in the Atlantic Division with 121 scored goals, numbers that unmask the real problem that they’ve carried the whole season, their defensive performance.
