Buffalo Sabres vs. Canadiens Prediction and Odds: Game 7

The Buffalo Sabres simply ran out of fuel in Tuesday night’s downer against the Seattle Kraken. Are they recharged for tonight’s showdown against Montreal?

The Buffalo Sabres are a little banged up as they return home to start off a four-game homestand. Your first team on the schedule? The Montreal Canadiens. Montreal has had their struggles, but they have been playing at a respectable level, meaning neither the Sabres nor anyone should take this team lightly.

But what are the odds the Sabres win tonight’s showdown? Let’s take a closer look.

Buffalo Sabres vs. Canadiens Prediction – Game 7

I’ll tell you this: The Sabres are going to be one angry team tonight. They want to prove they were better than what they were against the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday. The Canadiens are standing in their way, and something tells me this is the one game that is going to go very well for the Sabres, even without two of their top four defensemen.

Out of hand? I’m not going to get that bold. So I will chalk this one up as a Sabres win by a score of 5-2, and that Buffalo will enjoy one solid outing in terms of winning faceoffs, scoring on the power play, taking more shots on goal, and yes, even getting somewhat physical.

This game will make for a real confidence booster heading into the tilts against the Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings, and Pittsburgh Penguins. All of which will hold some true significance, but that is the subject of another article.
