Buffalo Sabres Form

Buffalo head to Canada looking to rebound from back-to-back defeats that dropped them to 7-8-1.

The Sabres have struggled for consistency since the start of the season, stringing together back-to-back wins just once.

They go into this game having lost four of their last six outings, starting with a 6-5 defeat to Philadelphia.

Buffalo rebounded with a 6-4 victory in Toronto, only to immediately return to losing ways with a 3-2 overtime defeat in Carolina.

The Sabres then won 3-2 at home to Minnesota, but failed to build on that as they were beaten 4-0 in Pittsburgh and 5-2 at home to Boston.

Winnipeg Jets Form

Winnipeg come into this matchup in solid form, having rebounded from three consecutive defeats with four wins in five games.

The Jets’ worst run of the season so far started with a shootout defeat in Montreal, which was followed by a 3-2 overtime loss to the New York Rangers and a 5-2 defeat in Vegas.

They snapped that skid with a 5-3 victory in Arizona, and that sparked this improved run of fortune.

Winnipeg then won 5-2 in St Louis and 6-2 at home to Nashville, before suffering a narrow 3-2 defeat at the hands of Dallas.

The Jets rebounded immediately though, getting back to winning ways with a 6-3 victory against New Jersey on Tuesday.

Verdict

Winnipeg are the team in better form and have good knack for getting the job done in regulation, so we are backing the Jets at home.
