The Buffalo Sabres will take on the Nashville Predators in what promises to be an exciting matchup between two teams with different seasons. While the Sabres have struggled to find consistency throughout the year, the Predators have shown flashes of brilliance but have also suffered from inconsistency. However, with the Sabres coming off a devastating 7-0 loss against the Bruins and the Predators also struggling in their last game, the Sabres ML (-150 DraftKings) could be the way to go.
Recent Performance
The Nashville Predators are coming off a 7-0 loss against the Rangers, a game in which they failed to score despite putting 22 shots on goal. Their offense has been inconsistent all season, and they rank 28th in the NHL in goals scored, with just 187 for the year. They have also given up 200 goals on the season, which is concerning given that the Sabres have scored 247 goals so far this year.
On the other hand, the Sabres are also coming off a rough outing, as they were shutout 7-0 by the Bruins. They failed to capitalize on their four power play opportunities, and they were only able to put 26 shots on goal. Despite their struggles, they have scored 247 goals on the season, which is fifth in the NHL.
Offense
The Sabres have been an offensive powerhouse this season, scoring 191 goals at even strength and 56 goals on the power play. They have attempted 2,223 shots, and they have a shooting percentage of 11.11%. The Predators, on the other hand, have only scored 149 goals at even strength and 38 goals on the power play. They have attempted 2,055 shots and have a shooting percentage of 9.1%.
Defense
Both teams have struggled defensively this season, with the Sabres allowing 254 goals and the Predators allowing 200 goals. However, the Sabres have allowed 199 goals at even strength, while the Predators have allowed 159 goals at even strength. The Sabres have a penalty kill percentage of 71.79%, while the Predators have allowed 41 goals in 226 power play opportunities.
Goaltending
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen will be between the pipes for the Sabres, and he has a save percentage of .897 this season. He has allowed 145 goals in 43 games played. On the other hand, Juuse Saros will be in net for the Predators, and he has a save percentage of .919 this season. He has allowed 678 goals in his professional hockey career.
Conclusion
Both teams have struggled defensively this season, but the Sabres have been much more potent offensively than the Predators. With the Sabres coming off a rough outing and the Predators struggling to find consistency, the Sabres ML (-150 DraftKings) seems like a good bet. Additionally, the Sabres have scored 56 power-play goals this season, which could be a difference-maker against a Predators penalty kill that has allowed 41 goals in 226 opportunities.
