The first game on the NHL schedule for next Saturday corresponds to the clash between Buffalo Sabres and Detroit Red Wings, which will be played at 11:00 am Central Time at the KeyBank Centre in Buffalo. The expectations around this game are huge since this is a must-win game for both teams as they’re fiercely competing in the Atlantic Division.
On the one hand, Buffalo Sabres have already recovered from the awful defensive performance they had during the first games of the season, currently having a streak of 2 victories in a row over teams with a big duality like Chicago Blackhawks and Dallas Stars. Nonetheless, they must avoid depending on Tage Thompson as he has been the most valuable player in the last 5 games with 4 goals and 3 assists.
On the other hand, Detroit Red Wings is having a very solid performance that allowed them to win their last 3 games in a row, and even when they don’t have a very spectacular playstyle, they know exactly how to take advantage of their opponents’ errors. In this regard, Patrick Kane has been a very important player for them, as he has given 3 assists and 2 goals during their last 5 games, also shooting 15 times on target, the same number than Dylan Larkin.
