Next Thursday will bring an amazing journey for NHL fans, especially the Buffalo Sabres' crowd, which is likely to continue bringing unstoppable support after recently defeating the Chicago Blackhawks and the Minnesota Wild. Despite those victories, the upcoming game against the Dallas Stars will be an important test for the Sabres’ defense, especially after they conceded 6 goals in their opening game against the Blue Jackets.
Given this, the consistency of players like Tage Thompson and Noah Ostlund will be key to maintaining the team's scoring ratio of three goals per game in regulation. Nevertheless, although Rasmus Dahlin is an important piece of the Sabres’ offense, he should also try to increase his blocked-shot stats, as he has recorded only 4 in the first three games of the regular season.
Meanwhile, the Dallas Stars had a very poor performance during their first two games of the season, but they were able to make a statement with their dominant victory over the San Jose Sharks (5-0). In that game, the Stars showed brilliant cooperation from nearly every member of the attacking line. This diversity could give them enough power to secure playoff spots sooner rather than later.

Our Buffalo Sabres vs Dallas Stars Prediction
Taking all these factors into account, these teams are expected to play a spectacular game, especially if both defenses can’t deliver solid performances, as happened in their first two games of the regular season.
In conclusion, the odds make sense in not strongly suggesting any of these teams to win, but playing at home should give the Sabres extra motivation to secure their second victory of the season in regulation time at KeyBank Center. Therefore, the pick for the Dallas Stars – Buffalo Sabres is: Total Goals in the 3rd Period – Over 2.5!
