Buffalo Sabres at Pittsburgh Penguins Preview & Picks
Buffalo are tipped to extend their current win streak to five games.
The Sabres are not only a good run of form overall, but they have also been in tremendous form on their travels for several months.
- Buffalo Sabres are on a 4-game win streak
- Buffalo Sabres are 16-3 in their previous 19 road games
- The Over has cashed in 4 of the previous 5 meetings
Head To Head
- Pittsburgh Penguins lead the all-time series 111-74-41
- Pittsburgh Penguins won 5-2 when the two teams last met on February 5
Buffalo Sabres Form
Buffalo head to Pittsburgh on another good run, having now won their last four games to make it 10 wins in their last 13 outings.
The Sabres began this sequence with four consecutive road wins, downing Nashville 5-3, Montreal 4-2, New York Islanders 5-0 and Toronto 7-4.
They then beat Los Angeles 4-1 at home, before answering a 4-2 defeat to Montreal with a 5-3 success when they visited Florida.
Buffalo dropped the next two as they fell 4-3 to Tampa Bay and 5-2 to Pittsburgh, but they have not tasted defeat since then.
The Sabres rebounded on the road to beat New Jersey 2-1, Florida 3-2 and Tampa Bay 6-2, before heading back home to make it four-in-a-row with a 3-2 victory over Vegas.
Pittsburgh Penguins Form
Pittsburgh enter this matchup having seen their form dip since the start of February, with four defeats coming in their last seven games.
The Penguins enjoyed a six-game win streak at the end of January, only to begin last month with a 3-2 defeat to Ottawa at home.
They then fell 5-4 in overtime at the New York Islanders, but rebounded with a 5-2 win in Buffalo before returning home to down New Jersey 4-1.
Pittsburgh failed to make it three-in-a-row as they lost 3-2 to the New York Rangers – although they did respond immediately with a 5-0 shutout of Vegas at home.
The Penguins were unable to follow it up though, as they were beaten 2-1 in Boston last time out.
Verdict
Pittsburgh have had Buffalo’s number in recent times, but the Sabres offer more reasons for optimism here.
They arrive on a four-game win streak, and their recent road form has been nothing short of outstanding.
