Nashville Predators vs Buffalo Sabres Prediction & Picks - NHL
by Edgar Jibran | in NHL Picks
The NHL schedule for next Friday night will start at 06:00 pm CST with an unattractive clash between Buffalo Sabres and Nashville Predators, teams that aren’t expected to qualify for the playoffs by the end of the regular season due to their awful defensive performances. Even though, those defensive errors could turn this game into one with many dangerous opportunities for both teams.
In this regard, it’s relevant to note that Buffalo Sabres just returned home after 4 away consecutive games and got an unexpected victory over Boston Bruins (7-2), however even when that sounds like a very large number, the reality is that they only shot 33 times on target during the game. With that in mind, the real expectation around the Sabres is finding a consistent offensive effectiveness to try to leave the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings.
On Nashville Predators’ case, this team has suffered a lot this season due to the lack of defensive effectiveness, an affirmation that can be easily ratified when looking that they conceded 3 or more goals during their last 4 games in a row. However, it also must be remarked that their offensive line is generating a lot of opportunities per game, as they shot more than 35 times on target in 4 out of their last 5 games.
