Game Preview
It has been a damaging period for the Toronto Maple Leafs, as they have suffered defeats in their last two games to drop to fourth in the Atlantic Division. Toronto have won just three of their opening seven games this season, and there are key defensive issues to address, having allowed 25 goals.
The Maple Leafs were easily beaten earlier this week, as they lost 5-2 at home against the New Jersey Devils. Toronto fell apart in the second period of that game, allowing four goals. John Tavares and Matias Maccelli netted the goals in the loss.
Meanwhile, the Buffalo Sabres sit sixth in the Atlantic Division at this early stage of the campaign. They have gone 3-4-0, but they come into this game after an impressive win in their latest NHL outing.
Buffalo scored twice in the second period, while they added two further efforts in the final frame to register the win. Jack Quinn and Ryan McLeod both registered two assists in the win, while Quinn, Alex Tuch, and Jason Zucker all scored goals in the success.
Maple Leafs vs. Sabres Picks
The Maple Leafs have been too defensively weak in the NHL this season, and they could endure a miserable night on the road in Buffalo. Therefore, we will be keen to take a chance on the home win when making Maple Leafs vs. Sabres picks.
