Goaltenders shine
Dustin Tokarski scored his second career shutout against the Calgary Flames while Craig Anderson remains up-and-down. But in the past three games against Pittsburgh and Washington, the Sabres allowed just five goals in regulation. The only outlier? Their November 8th meeting at Washington when they lost 5-3.
And with the Sabres defense showing signs of life in March, look for the goaltenders to shine once again against both clubs. So let’s go bold and say the Sabres, this time around, allow no more than four goals against Pittsburgh and Washington combined.
Expect grit-and-grind performances on both sides of the ice. And as stated in the first slide: Look for the Sabres to score at least one upset in one of these matchups. And they will once again embark on a small road trip with momentum.
The Sabres face off with the Penguins on Wednesday night at 7:30 pm. And expect the KeyBank Center to be booming.
