Bruins vs Sabres Key Stats
Boston are one of the strongest teams on offense in the league at the moment, having scored four goals per game on average this season. The duo of David Pastrnak and Hampus Lindholm have been the focal points of their offense with 36 goal involvements.
The defense has done a great job with 392 shots saved with a save percentage of over 0.925. Goaltender Linus Ullmark has conceded less than 2 goals in 12 games and has a save percentage of 0.936. The defense looks settled and there is nothing much to worry about for them going into the game.
Buffalo has scored 54 goals in 14 games at an average of more than three goals per game, which is great by league standards. Both Rasmus Dahlin and Tage Thompson have done a great job, especially Rasmus, who has been involved in 17 goals.
On defense, they have a lot of work to do. They have been poor lately, which has let the team down. Although goaltender Craig Anderson has been brilliant with three wins in the four games he has played, he has not started enough games and his effect on the results has been minimal.
Bruins vs Sabres Betting Prediction
Boston are 4-0 in their last 4 when their opponents allowed 5 or more in their previous game and are 7-1 in their last 8 after allowing 2 goals or less in their previous game.
Buffalo are 17-35 in their last 52 against teams from the Atlantic and have not played well at home this season. They are unlikely to win this game due to their poor defense, which keeps Boston at an advantage.
Prediction : Take Boston, -1.5(+140)
