Saturday night, March 2nd, brings you prime time NHL hockey from north of the border as the Buffalo Sabres travel to face off against the Toronto Maple Leafs, live from the Scotiabank Arena. Toronto has won the previous three meetings between these two teams.
Buffalo Sabres
The Sabres have only won one of their last five games, as they continue their late season downward spiral out of playoff contention. They currently sit eight points behind Carolina for the final Wild Card spot in the East, but there are three teams in between them and the Hurricanes heading into this game.

LW Jeff Skinner is the Sabres leader in goals scored with 36 on the year so far, while their overall points leader is C Jack Eichel, who has 22 goals and 47 assists on the year. Projected starting goalie Linus Ulmark comes into Saturday with a 13-8-4 record, with a 3.03 GAA and a .909 save percentage.
Injury Report: C Vladimir Sobotka, D Marco Scandella and G Carter Hutton are all listed as “questionable” for Buffalo’s game with Pittsburgh on Friday, so it is unclear if any of them will be able to give it a go here on Saturday.
Toronto Maple Leafs
Toronto has won three out of their last five games now, after Thursday night’s embarrassing loss at Nassau Coliseum to the Islanders 6-1. They currently sit in third place in the Atlantic Division, appearing to be safe for the moment locked into a playoff berth. The Leafs beat Buffalo last Monday, 5-3.

Toronto’s leading goal scorer on the year is C John Tavares with 36, while their overall points leader is RW Mitchell Marner with 22 goals and 53 assist on the year. Projected starting goalie Frederik Andersen has a 30-13-3 record with a 2.59 GAA and a .923 save percentage.
Injury Report: C Nazem Kadri is listed as “questionable” for Saturday night, while Defensemen Travis Dermott and Jake Gardiner are both listed as “out” for Toronto.

Free Buffalo Sabres vs. Toronto Maple Leafs NHL Prediction:
Toronto should be able to bounce back after Thursday night’s tough defeat in New York to secure the two points at home against Buffalo. The Leafs have a 20-12-1 home record this year, and Buffalo is 11-17-4 on the road. You do the math.
Take the Leafs to win this game on home ice, and continue to put some separation between themselves and the Montreal Canadiens in the Atlantic.
