Montreal Canadiens vs Buffalo Sabres Prediction & Picks - NHL
by Edgar Jibran | in NHL Picks
Buffalo Sabres appeared to be one of the most solid teams in the Eastern Conference despite of the fact that they have been in the bottom spot for so many weeks, nonetheless their most recent loss against Carolina Hurricanes (5-2) came in the best moment to avoid any overconfidence during the rest of the regular season. With that in mind, they’re expected to recover their defensive strength during their next game against Montreal Canadiens, which will take place next Saturday at 06:00 pm CST.
In this regard, it must be noted that Buffalo Sabres are the best offensive between the teams that currently aren’t in playoffs’ spots with 184 goals scored throughout the season, however they only scored more than 4 goals in 1 out of their last 5 games. In addition, it’s also worth noting that their defensive line conceded 4 or more goals in only 2 out of their last 5 games, so their priority for this game must be keeping the good defensive shape.
Meanwhile, Montreal Canadiens are very close from becoming a competitive team in the Eastern Conference due to their most recent streak of 3 victories in a row that just put them 5 points behind the playoffs’ mark. Despite this, they still have a long way to go, and it cannot be forgotten that they faced some difficulties to defeat San Jose Sharks during their most recent game due to a lack of offensive efficiency.
