The Carolina Hurricanes and Buffalo Sabres face off on Tuesday in an NHL showdown at the KeyBank Center. When these two teams faced off in December of 2021 it was the Hurricanes that won 6-2.
Carolina Hurricanes
Carolina comes into this game with a 45-16-8 record overall and they have gone 20-10-4 away from home. The Hurricanes have lost two of their last three games and in the last game against the Minnesota Wild they didn’t look good. The offense only managed one goal against the Wild’s defense and that led to the two goal defeat.
Carolina as a team is averaging 3.32 goals per game which is 9th best in the NHL. The most impressive has been the defense giving up 2.39 goals per game which is the best in the entire league. The Hurricanes only allow 28.6 shots per game against which is second best in the league.
Sebastian Aho has been the top player for the Carolina Hurricanes scoring 31 goals and adding 38 assists. Andrei Svechnikov is also having a big season scoring 27 goals and adding 33 assists.
Buffalo Sabres
On the other side of this matchup is the Buffalo Sabres who sit with a 25-34-11 record and they have gone 13-17-6 at home this season. In the last game against the Florida Panthers the defense really struggled giving up five goals and that led to the two goal defeat.
Buffalo is averaging 2.71 goals per game while their defense is giving up 3.5 goals per game. The offense hasn’t been great, and against a strong defensive team they are going to need to take advantage of every scoring chance they have.
The best player this season has been Tage Thompson and he has scored 31 goals and added 23 assists. Jeff Skinner has also been good this season scoring 28 goals and adding another 22 assists.

All the trends point towards the over and there will be no shortage of scoring in this game. The Buffalo Sabres defense has been an issue and the Hurricanes offense is going to have no issue running up the score. I also expect the Sabres will score two or three goals and they will help push this game over the total. Back the over.
