The Buffalo Sabres ended their homestand with a big win at the Heritage Classic against the Toronto Maple Leafs

The Buffalo Sabres will take a trip north of the border for a three-game road trip before they head back home to face the Pittsburgh Penguins. And it’s a road trip that will challenge the Sabres. Not only are the Flames, Canucks, and Oilers contending, but the Sabres will deal with playing three games in a four-day span.

Recently, the Sabres struggled when forced to play back-to-back games. The most recent example was an embarrassing 9-1 meltdown to the Los Angeles Kings (3-0) and Florida Panthers (6-1). Add a road trip out west to the equation, and the Sabres may again struggle.

But that doesn’t mean we can’t get bold. So let’s have some fun and outline three bold predictions for the Sabres upcoming road trip, with one prediction for each game.
