Los Angeles Kings: Sabres take Kings into OT

The Kings are 9-1-2 in their last twelve road games. And while the Kings show no signs of slowing down, the Sabres have gotten their act together for at least a couple of games. Look for them to continue that trend against Los Angeles, and look for a scoring-fest at that.

While it’s farfetched to believe a team of the Sabres caliber can outright win yet another game against a playoff contender, they have proven that they can hang with anyone. Amidst their six-game losing streak, they also hung with the mighty St. Louis Blues well.

I won’t say whether I think the Sabres will win this one. But I will say they have a chance, given their recent performances. Look for the two teams to take a 4-4 stalemate into overtime, and someone will score the game-winning goal before they revert to a shootout. Regardless of who wins, expect a thriller at the KeyBank Center.
