After opening the campaign with two wins, the Minnesota Wild travel to KeyBank Center on Tuesday night, to take on a Buffalo Sabres side currently standing at 1-1.
The Wild started their campaign by easing out Nashville 3-1, before a fantastic team display saw them sweep aside the Bruins 4-1. Expectations are high in Minnesota, and their opening two victories have heightened hopes that the Wild could make a deep playoff run this season.
Goals have been flying in at both ends during the Sabres' opening two games. They began with a wild 6-3 loss at Columbus, before bouncing back to beat Chicago 4-3, thanks to late goals from Rasmus Dahlin and Jiri Kulich. If Buffalo can tighten up their defense and continue to find the net regularly, they will have every chance of challenging for a postseason berth.

Our Buffalo Sabres vs Minnesota Wild Prediction
This is an ultra-tight matchup, and like the bookies, we are really struggling to separate the two teams.
Minnesota have made a flying start to the season, but it is important to note that they have been up against relatively weak opposition so far.
Buffalo will be the Wild's toughest test so far, and based on recent encounters between the two teams, we expect this one to go all the way to overtime and possibly a shootout.
Our prediction for Buffalo Sabres vs Minnesota Wild is: Draw.
