The second game in the NHL schedule to be played next Saturday’s noon corresponds to the clash between Buffalo Sabres and Utah Hockey Club, a pair of teams that are having a very bad time in their respective Conferences. In this matter, it must be remarked that Buffalo Sabres is crossing through a very deep crisis that led them to lose their last 5 games in a row.
Despite this, the bookmakers’ odds are putting Buffalo as the big favorites to defeat Utah, a situation that can be explained by the fact that they’ve been recently confronting high-profile teams like Winnipeg, Colorado, Vancouver and Minnesota. In referred games, the Sabres weren’t really dominated at all, an affirmation that can be ratified by the fact that they won the first period of their most recent 3 home games.
Meanwhile, Utah Hockey Club holds a 6-6-2 away record, being worth noting that they won their last 2 away games in a row, a streak in which their most relevant victory was against Vegas Golden Knights (0-6). Nevertheless, Utah highlights as the third worst offensive in the Central Division with 70 scored goals, being really shameful for them to lose Connor Ingram for almost 1 month, as he was the only goalie with a positive record after 13 played games.
