Game Preview
Playoff dreams may already be diminished for both the Boston Bruins and Buffalo Sabres at this stage of the season. Boston will have the important home advantage this weekend, and they would have taken confidence from their recent win, which improved their overall record to 3-7-0.
However, they remain bottom of the Atlantic Division at this stage of the season. They were last in action on Tuesday evening, as they recorded a 5-2 home win over the New York Islanders. Despite trailing 2-0 after the opening frame, the Bruins sparked into life in the second and third periods.
The Buffalo Sabres aren’t faring much better than the Bruins so far this term, as they have gone 4-4-2 across their opening ten games. They currently sit sixth in the Atlantic Division standings, and they have already allowed 31 goals in the NHL.
They come into this clash after suffering defeats in each of their last two games. Meanwhile, their most recent loss was inflicted at home against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday. Josh Doan and Josh Dunne scored goals in the eventual home loss.
Sabres vs. Bruins Picks
Something needs to change for both of these teams in the NHL this term. However, home advantage could be an important consideration, as the Bruins have a positive record at TD Garden against the Sabres.
