Buffalo Sabres vs Montreal Canadiens Prediction & Picks - NHL
by Edgar Jibran | in NHL Picks
Next Monday will be a very challenging day for Montreal Canadiens and Buffalo Sabres, as they’ll clash at 06:00 pm CST in a must-win game as both currently occupy the bottom of the Atlantic Division. With this in mind, it must be remembered that these teams already clashed last Saturday, and even though the Canadiens won that confrontation they aren’t considered as the favorites to win this game at home.
In this matter, Montreal Canadiens haven’t been as consistent as expected, so even when they won their last 4 games in a row, only Joel Armia was able to shoot 5 times on target. In addition, Nick Suzuki is still one of the key players for the Canadiens, as he scored 3 goals in his last 3 games, being able to shoot 3 times on target during their last 2 games in a row. Ironically, their best result was against Carolina (4-0), a game in which any player shot more than 3 times on target.
On Buffalo Sabres’ side, this team was one of the most affected due to the 4 Nations Face-Off stoppage, as they lost all the rhythm that almost took them out of the bottom spot in the Eastern Conference. Most of that negative impact was suffered by their offensive line, as they haven’t been able to score more than 3 goals during their last 3 games in a row – including their third loss against the Canadiens in their regular season series.
