Game Preview

The Buffalo Sabres have been one of the standout teams in the Eastern Conference so far this season, and they are within touching distance of securing their spot in the playoffs.

However, they will have questions to answer on Friday after losing successive games. Despite that, the Sabres have won seven of their last ten, and they have lost just once in regulation.

They were edged out on home ice last time, losing 4-3 in overtime against the Boston Bruins. Jason Zucker was an eye-catching performer in that defeat, scoring twice from four shots on goal.

Meanwhile, the Detroit Red Wings are still fighting for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference under Todd McLellan. The franchise have gone 38-25-8 in the NHL this season, but their form has dipped in recent weeks after winning just three of their last ten.

Detroit also come into this crucial encounter after losing each of their last two. Their most recent loss was suffered on home ice, as they were beaten 3-2 by the Ottawa Senators. Dylan Larkin and Dominik Shine scored the goals in the defeat.

Buffalo Sabres vs. Detroit Red Wings Picks

The Sabres have been reliable at the KeyBank Center this season, and this Friday’s clash could be a perfect opportunity to bounce back to winning ways. Therefore, the home win is preferred when making picks.
