Game Preview
Despite starting the new season in impressive fashion, the Florida Panthers come into the weekend in a state of crisis. The Panthers have endured a long winless sequence in the NHL, losing each of their last three. Their defensive record across that period is eye-catching after allowing 12 goals.
Florida’s most recent defeat was suffered on the road on Thursday, as they were beaten 3-1 by the New Jersey Devils. Despite taking the lead in the opening period of that clash, the Panthers would concede one goal in the second, before shipping two further efforts in the final frame.
This could be a good opportunity to get back on track, as the Buffalo Sabres sit eighth in the Atlantic Division. However, they will be a confident team ahead of this showdown after winning their previous game against the Ottawa Senators in impressive fashion.
The blow-out success saw the Sabres score eight times, as they recorded a first win of the campaign. Jack Quinn, Jason Zucker, and Ryan McLeon all enjoyed nights to remember, as all stars scored two goals each.
Panthers vs. Sabres Picks
A disappointing run of results ensures that there will be pressure on the Panthers this weekend. However, they should have the quality to get their form back on track against the Buffalo Sabres.
