This Saturday night offers a crucial chance for the Utah Mammoth and the Buffalo Sabres to regain confidence after struggling in last Thursday's NHL matchday. The teams meet at KeyBank Center at 05:00 pm CST, and the odds don't point to a clear favorite, given the defensive trouble both teams have had in their most recent matches.
On the Buffalo Sabres’ side, it's hard to ignore that this team has one of the weakest defenses in the Atlantic Division, so Lindy Ruff’s biggest priority should be to avoid giving up three or more goals, as they did in three of their four regular-season games. Another interesting possibility is Colten Ellis starting, which could give Ukko Luukkonen a chance to recover after a disastrous start to the season.
Meanwhile, the Utah Mammoth lost the positive momentum they showed in their first two regular-season games. Much of that negative impact may come from the Mammoth's strong dependence on Nick Schmaltz and Dylan Guenther to score goals, so this game is a chance for players like Vincent Trocheck and Anders Lee to put their names on the scoreboard for the second time in the regular season.
