The Buffalo Sabres are enjoying their new season. They started their campaign with a win over the Ottawa Senators (4-1), but faced a defeat in their second game against the Florida Panthers (4-3).
The Sabres won their third game away from home against the Edmonton Oilers (4-2) and destroyed the Calgary Flames in Game 4 (6-3). In their latest game, Buffalo thrashed the Vancouver Canucks (5-1). They will now look to make it five wins in six games and climb up the ladder in their division.

They have two wins so far, one against the Los Angeles Kings (4-1), and one against the reigning champions, the Colorado Avalanche (3-2). They are fourth in the division, something they would like to improve on when they host the Sabres.

Buffalo Sabres vs. Seattle Kraken: Pick
After the first game, Victor Olofsson had a series of below-average games for the Sabres. He scored two goals and had six shots on goal in the opening game, but did not have any impact after that. Only in the last game, he showed his class by scoring two goals from two shots on target. He now has a total of four goals in five games. He will be looking to carry forward to his form against Seattle.
Pick: Victor Olofsson Total Shots On Goal Over 2.5 (+120)
Buffalo Sabres vs. Seattle Kraken: Prediction
Even though the Sabres have a better form at the moment, the odds still favor the Kraken for the win. It is not going to be easy for them even if they are playing at home. Buffalo will come hard at them and won't allow them to score easy goals. However, Kraken won the previous two meetings between the two teams and both games had a total of over 6 goals.
Prediction: Total Goals Over 6.5 (-130)
