The Buffalo Sabres are struggling through a four-game losing streak, but they might find a ray of hope against a team like the Anaheim Ducks.
While the Buffalo Sabres are a far cry from the high-octane group they were earlier in the season for the moment, they can gain more momentum with a win over the ailing Anaheim Ducks tonight. I say more momentum, because they played fairly well during the third period in their loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Monday.
It gave Buffalo something to build on as they travel to Anaheim. And if the Sabres come out looking like the team they were earlier this season, they can snag one tonight against the Ducks. So what are the odds that the Blue and Gold take it this evening? Let’s check the odds below and make a prediction.
Buffalo Sabres vs. Ducks Odds – Game 53
Per Fan Duel, the Buffalo Sabres are -1.5 favorites on the road against the Ducks. The Over/Under is 6.5, and the Sabres moneyline is -205. The Ducks moneyline is +168.
Buffalo Sabres vs. Ducks Prediction – Game 53
The Sabres, sooner or later, will get it together once more. Maybe it will happen tonight against an easier opponent who they hung six goals on earlier this season.
So far in 2022-23, the Blue and Gold fell into two previous slumps, and they returned from those respective slumps with a vengeance. Therefore, it gives us reason to believe that tonight will signal yet another rebirth for a team looking to end their 11-year playoff drought.
Will the get it together tonight? Easy opponent. Sense of urgency. West Coast game. Recent history tells us that Buffalo will take this one, so I’m going to go out on a limb and predict they win it, 5-3.
If they get the sticks rolling tonight, it will set the stage for what should be a high-octane West Coast Season Finale against San Jose. And if they win tonight and on Saturday night, Buffalo may find themselves right back in the thick of things.
