Buffalo Sabres at Vegas Golden Knights Predictions & Picks

Buffalo are backed to win as an underdog in Vegas.

The in-form Sabres have been excellent on the road in recent weeks, and they also boast an outstanding recent record against the Golden Knights. 

  • Buffalo Sabres are 9-1 in their last 10 games
  • Buffalo Sabres are 9-1 in their previous 10 road games
  • Vegas Golden Knights are 3-6 in their last 9 games
  • Buffalo Sabres have won 6 of the previous 8 meetings
  • The Under cashed in the previous meeting this season

Head To Head

  • Buffalo Sabres lead the all-time series 8-5-2
  • Buffalo Sabres won 3-2 when the two teams last met on March 3

Buffalo Sabres Form

Buffalo head to Vegas on a good run of form, having won nine of their previous 10 games.

The Sabres dropped back-to-back games in early February, falling 4-3 at Tampa Bay and 5-2 at home to Pittsburgh, but their response to those losses was emphatic.

They went out on the road to beat New Jersey 2-1, Florida 3-2 and Tampa Bay 6-2, before briefly returning home to down Vegas 3-2.

Buffalo then took their streak to eight games as they backed up a 5-1 victory in Pittsburgh with home successes against Nashville, 3-2, Tampa Bay, 8-7, and San Jose, 6-3.

The Sabres’ run was finally ended by a 2-1 loss to Washington, but they bounced back immediately with a 3-2 victory over Toronto last time out.

Vegas Golden Knights Form

Vegas enter this matchup on the back of a couple of wins, but having lost six of their previous nine games.

The Golden Knights won three straight in early February, but cooled off to lose the next three as they fell 3-2 at Washington, 5-0 in Pittsburgh and 3-2 at Buffalo.

They avoided a fourth straight loss as they edged Detroit 4-3 in overtime on the road, but they failed to build on that as they lost the next three.

Vegas suffered back-to-back defeats at home, falling 4-2 to both Minnesota and Edmonton, and then suffered a 2-1 defeat when they visited Dallas.

The Golden Knights have rallied at home though, backing up a 6-2 victory over Pittsburgh with a 4-0 shutout of Chicago.

Verdict

Vegas have home advantage, but Buffalo make for a highly appealing underdog in this one.

The Sabres are on a roll and have been stacking up wins on their travels, while they have also won six of the last eight meetings and two of the last three at T-Mobile Arena.
