Buffalo Looking For Better Luck
The Buffalo Sabres are 1-3-0 so far this season, putting them at the bottom of the Atlantic Division. But that may not be a fair representation of how the Sabres have played early in the 2024-25 campaign. Buffalo has only allowed 12 goals over the span of their first four games, while their attack has let them down by scoring just eight times. If the Sabres can get a few bounces to go their way in front of goal and they can continue playing well on defense, they could see some more wins sooner rather than later.
Penguins Searching For First Home Victory
The Pittsburgh Penguins have split their first four games, will all four being decided in regulation. That is good enough for third place in the Metropolitan Division so far this season, with the Penguins having played at least one more game than all of the teams beneath them in the division standings. Pittsburgh dropped their only home game of the season so far and will look to even their record at home here against a Sabres team that has struggled to put pucks into the net.
Sabres vs Penguins Prediction
We are not going to overthink it in this Sabres vs Penguins game. Our best bet is for the Sabres and Penguins to combine to stay under the total of six goals. While Pittsburgh could certainly do some scoring in this game, the lack of offensive output for the Sabres has been jarring early in the season, whether that be in Prague to start the year or back on North American soil after. Look for that trend to continue and for the under to cash in Pittsburgh.
