Next Monday night the NHL calendar will be very short in comparison to the ones from the weekend, however some games like the confrontation between Buffalo Sabres and Edmonton Oilers are expected to be very spectacular due to the current level of both teams. With that in mind, it cannot be taken as a big surprise to have the Oilers as the big favorites.
Most of that favoritism is based on the terrible performance that Buffalo Sabres have had throughout the season, so it cannot be taken as a big surprise to find out that they currently have a streak of 6 losses in a row. Within those terrible results, one of the most disappointing corresponds to their loss against San Jose Sharks (2-6), which literally can be considered as their worst result of the season.
Meanwhile, Edmonton Oilers have been able to recover from the terrible streak they collected in February, currently holding a streak of 2 victories in a row. Additionally, it must be noted that the Oilers were finally able to break a streak of 7 games in a row without scoring more than 3 goals after their most recent victory over Dallas Stars (5-4), a result that allowed them to remain in front of Colorado in the Western Conference standings.
