Betting Trends for vs
The Red Wings have not played good at all this year. Granted, the past 2 games may look impressive for the Red Wings, but it was a false hope. The teams the Red Wings played those games in were not that strong and really had a lot of problems. Look for the Sabres, though, to finally have a decent showing offensively in this game and bring home the win in the game with their offense showing up and the defense shutting down the lackluster Red Wings offense. Final Score Prediction, Buffalo Sabres win 3-2.
