The Bruins, on the other hand, are leading their division and once again look ready for a deep playoff run. The Bruins vie for a third straight victory and bid to extend their point streak to seven Sunday night when the Buffalo Sabres visit for the back end of a home-and-home set.

This should be a spirited affair on a busy sports Sunday. Keep reading to find out our winning pick.
Buffalo Sabres
The season just keeps getting worse for Buffalo. Jeff Skinner’s 700th NHL game turned out to be a forgettable milestone after he suffered an upper-body injury that is expected to sideline him for three to four weeks.
To make scoring matters worse, Eichel has been held off the scoresheet in consecutive contests after amassing 16 goals and 32 points in his previous 18 games. This is part of the reason the Sabres have been in free fall mode since early November.
In an attempt to get some offense going, Ralph Krueger had Kyle Okposo paired with Eichel and Victor Olofsson while Johan Larsson centered Marcus Johansson and Sam Reinhart at Saturday’s practice. We shall see if this can help them tonight.
They will hope to get some good goaltending out of Linus Ullmark. His stats on the season are: 11-9-3 W-L | 2.79 GAA | 0.914 SV% | 1 SO
Boston Bruins
The Boston Bruins struggled throughout much of December, but they appear to be back on track after sandwiching a pair of impressive victories around the three-day Christmas break.
They enter this game atop the Atlantic division, and have only 7 regulation losses on the year! Their top line has been productive as always. Bruins LW Brad Marchand has consecutive three-point games overall and 13 points in his last nine meetings versus Buffalo.
Bergeron has scored twice in three consecutive games, becoming the first Boston player with multiple goals in three in a row since Cam Neely in 1988-89. And lastly, Bruins RW David Pastrnak has two goals and eight assists during a six-game point streak.
Starting in net for the Bruins will be Tuukka Rask. His stats on the season are: 14-4-5 W-L | 2.32 GAA | 0.923 SV% | 2 SO

Free Buffalo Sabres vs. Boston Bruins NHL Prediction:
I like Boston by a lot here. I don’t think the Sabres have the depth, offensively talent up front, or the coaching to do much to the Bruins in this game. I am expecting an easy win.
