Colorado Avalanche vs. Buffalo Sabres Game Preview
The Avalanche have had a strong start to the season, winning six of their first seven games. Their only loss came in their most recent game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, where they were shut out 4-0. Despite this setback, the Avalanche have shown their offensive prowess this season, with right winger Mikko Rantanen leading the team in both goals and assists. The team will be looking to Rantanen to continue his strong performance and help them secure a win against the Sabres.
On the other hand, the Sabres have had a more challenging start to the season, with only three wins in their first eight games. Their most recent game resulted in a narrow 5-4 loss against the New Jersey Devils. Despite their struggles, the Sabres have seen strong performances from players like left winger Jeff Skinner, who leads the team in goals. The Sabres will be relying on Skinner and others to step up and help them secure a much-needed win.
Both teams have shown strengths and weaknesses in their defensive and offensive play. The Avalanche have a strong offense, but their recent shutout loss shows that they can struggle against strong defensive teams. The Sabres, meanwhile, have shown resilience in their defensive play, particularly in their penalty kill performance and shot-blocking abilities. This game will likely come down to which team can best exploit the other’s weaknesses while capitalizing on their own strengths.
Colorado Avalanche vs. Buffalo Sabres Predictions
Given the recent performances of both teams, the pick for this game would be the Over. The Colorado Avalanche have shown a strong offensive presence this season, with Mikko Rantanen leading the team in both goals and assists. Despite their recent shutout loss against the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Avalanche have consistently demonstrated their ability to score, which will likely contribute to a high-scoring game against the Sabres.
On the other hand, the Buffalo Sabres, despite their struggles, have shown resilience in their defensive play. However, their recent narrow loss against the New Jersey Devils indicates that they can be susceptible to conceding goals. Furthermore, the historic head-to-head data shows a tendency for high-scoring games, with the total score going over twice in their past four encounters. Therefore, considering the offensive strengths of the Avalanche and the defensive vulnerabilities of the Sabres, the Over seems to be the right pick for this game.
The Pick: Over 6.5 -125 (BetMGM)
