Buffalo Sabres vs Detroit Red Wings Prediction: Red Wings Will Need More Strength

The first two full-time matches of Buffalo and Detroit in this championship ended with the victories of the Sabres. Will the Red Wings be able to change the score in the season series? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Sabres have been noticeably added recently. Don Granato's team approaches the match with Detroit with a series of four consecutive victories. Moreover, he beat Buffalo in this segment and one of the hottest teams of the league at the moment, Los Angeles (6:0), the leader of the Western Conference, Vegas (3:2), and the current Stanley Cup winner Colorado (4:2). In total, Buffalo already has 50% of wins – 16 in 32 matches. It is no longer such a hopeless position in the standings. They are only 7 points behind the playoff zone in the Atlantic Division.

If the Sabres reached the championship distance, then Detroit, on the contrary, gradually began to give up. And although in the previous game, the Red Wings (the team's match with Pittsburgh will end after the publication of this text) smashed Tampa Bay on their ice (7-4), before that, they lost six matches in a row. Derek Lalonde's team did not cope with Florida, Carolina, or Washington during this period, so they deservedly lagged behind the playoff zone. And according to the results of the match with Buffalo, in case of defeat, it will even lose 11th place in the summary table of the Eastern Conference.

Detroit will hold a back-to-back after the match with Pittsburgh. So it is likely that the Red Wings will need more strength to cope with the Buffalo that has gained momentum. And even without that, the Derek Lalonde team would not be the favorite of the upcoming confrontation – Detroit has a lot of injured, the wings are not in the best shape, they have lost almost all their matches recently, and the Sabres are already very good at this part of the season.
