The Buffalo Sabres will play host to the Detroit Red Wins in a battle of two freefalling teams on Monday at KeyBank Center. The Sabres have lost their last six games, the most recent was a 5-2 defeat to the Utah Hockey Club. Buffalo won 60 percent of the faceoff and dished out 39 hits on Utah. However, goal-keeper Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen struggled anew as he conceded five goals for the second time in three matches. The Red Wings are also on a slump, losing their last five games, including another heartbreaking loss to the Colorado Avalanche 2-1 on December 7. Lucas Raymond, who leads his team with 28 points this season, scored his 10th goal of the season in their fifth consecutive loss by one goal.

Our Buffalo Sabres vs Detroit Red Wings Prediction

The Sabres is averaging 2.93 goals per game while allowing opponents 3.09 goals a game this season. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen has allowed 17 goals in his last four starts, making me uncomfortable to bet on Buffalo for a straight-up win. Detroit are 4-2 SU in their last 6 games against Buffalo and they have covered the spread in 3 of their last four games. Moreover, Red Wings goalie Ville Husso has had three games in a row with a save percentage of at least .900. His recent numbers between the pipes assures that he won’t be surrendering plenty of goals against the Sabres on Monday. Our betting prediction for the Buffalo Sabres vs. Detroit Red Wings: Red Wings will win.
