Sabres vs Canadiens Key Stats
Buffalo's offense has done rather well with over 3.44 goals scored per game this season. Players like Rasmus Dahlin and Tage Thompson have contributed upfront with over 20 goals involvements each.
Both these players will have to be key men in this game if they want to maintain this goal scoring run.But their defense has let them down, being the culprit behind their sorry run. They need to shape it up going forward this season in order to put together a solid side that can challenge the rest of the teams in the league.
Montreal's offensive unit has failed to create and convert chances and could only manage to score 3.05 goals per game on average this season.Both Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield have combined well and have contributed with 40 goal involvements. They have to improve on their conversion percentage so they can become a better side with the ability to cope with the season's demands ahead.
Their defense has been on the weaker side, making things difficult for them, even after the goaltenders had a save percentage of over 0.900.We can expect a lot of changes going forward as they will look to better their performances to finish the season on a high.
Sabres vs Canadiens Betting Prediction
Buffalo have lost their last few games by big margins with a downfall in their scoring rate.With a defense that is leaking a lot of goals and their poor record against Montreal, their chances in this game are bleak.
Montreal, having scored and defended well in their last few games and will be pumped to make the most out of this game.They have won three of their last five games and are better placed to come out as winners.
