Buffalo Sabres and Ottawa Senators will clash in the NHL Atlantic Division on Wednesday night at the KeyBank Center. The Sabres will be under pressure to win this midweek assignment, having lost all their first three matches. In their most recent game, they suffered a deflating 3-1 loss at home against the Avalanche. Despite the result, they showed some offensive promise, with Tage Thompson scoring his first goal in the regular season.
Like the Sabres, the Senators have also endured a slow start to the season, winning once and losing twice. They are coming off a heavy 4-1 loss to the Predators in their home opener. It was a tough night for the Senators, who had a goal overturned in the second period for goaltender interference. As if that wasn’t enough, they lost their captain, Brady Tkachuk, to injury after he fell awkwardly into the boards. His brother Matthew Tkachuk is also out until December.

Our Buffalo Sabres vs Ottawa Senators Prediction
The Sabres will look to capitalize on the Senators’ early-season struggles to get their first win. They have been uninspiring lately, losing six of their last seven matches. The Sabres have also won just once in their previous four home matches. However, their record against the Senators is impressive, winning six of their last seven clashes. They also won three of their previous four meetings at home. Still, their attack must improve to edge out the Senators. They have scored just two goals in their first three matches this season. This weakness could help the Senators mount a serious challenge even without the Tkachuk brothers. Overall, we don’t expect a goal rush in this contest.
Our prediction for Buffalo Sabres vs Ottawa Senators: Under 6.5 goals to hit.
