The Buffalo Sabres (15-21-5) are set to face the Ottawa Senators (19-17-3) on January 9, 2025, at the Canadian Tire Centre in Kanata, Ontario. The game is scheduled to begin at 7:07 PM ET and will be broadcast on MSGB, RDS, and TSN5. Get in on all the action with our free NHL picks.

The Sabres are coming off a big win against Washington. This won snapped a grueling three game losing streak, all road games. Buffalo's main offense comes on the back of Tage Thompson. Tage has put up 34 points (19 goals and 5 assists). Buffalo has struggled to get any real momentum going this season, and need to pick things up if they want to be a contender.

The Senators, currently fifth in the Eastern Atlantic division, are looking to rebound after a recent OT loss to the Detroit Red Wings. They have been strong at home, boasting a 5-1 record in their last six games at the Canadian Tire Centre. Additionally, the total has gone UNDER in five of Ottawa's last six games against an opponent in the Eastern Conference. Brady Tkachuk will be the main source of firepower for Ottawa, as he has poured in 18 goals this year.

In their previous meeting on November 5, 2024, the Sabres secured a 5-1 victory over the Senators, with JJ Peterka contributing two goals and an assist. We do not see much changing here, Buffalo is on a rough skid, but so is Ottawa, and Buffalo has the better roster. Final Score Prediction, we think Buffalo wins 3-1.
