Game Preview
Eye-catching action from the NHL is set for Buffalo on Monday evening, as the Sabres bid to continue their recent form. They come into this clash after going 9-1-0 over their last ten, while a run of three straight victories leaves them sitting fourth in the Atlantic Division.
Buffalo would have gained confidence from their latest outing after registering a 5-3 home success against the Anaheim Ducks. Jack Quinn was an excellent performer in that win, netting two goals. Peyton Krebs ended the night with two assists.
There is likely to be increased pressure on the defending Stanley Cup champions this week. The Florida Panthers have dropped to seventh in the Atlantic Division after winning just four of their last ten games in the NHL. Over that period, they have suffered five defeats in regulation.
But, confidence would have been gained in their latest outing after registering a win against the Ottawa Senators. Aaron Ekblad ended the night with two assists, while the goals in the victory were scored by Carter Verhaeghe, Gustav Forsling, and Evan Rodrigues.
Panthers vs. Sabres Picks
This will be a good test for the Sabres, who have quickly emerged as a playoff contender in the Eastern Conference. Their strong home record could be the key factor to consider, and they are preferred to land victory when making picks.
