Schedule makers have given Buffalo a great opportunity to make the long road back to playoff contention with two games against Detroit (and one with Anaheim) in the next 5 days.
Buffalo seems like a near sure thing on Thursday, with the ML set at -220. Although Detroit is the worst team in the NHL this season, they have won 13 of the last 18 in Buffalo.

Despite their success in Buffalo, the Red Wings are still a tough wager on Thursday even at +180. Detroit has dropped 9 in a row, and have 15 less points than the 2nd worst team in the league, Los Angeles.
Detroit Red Wings
The Red Wings most recent losing streak could be their ugliest of many this season. Detroit hasn’t scored a victory in almost a month, a January 10th SO win over nearly equally bad Ottawa.
What’s worst about Detroit’s current stretch is that they’ve barely put up a fight. Only one game in the last 9 has gone to OT and the Red Wings have scored more than 2 goals also just once over that span.
The Red Wings also come into Thursday’s game in Buffalo having been shut out in consecutive games. That includes an 0-1 home loss to the Rangers and an 0-3 home loss to the Flyers so at least their defense has played decent.
Detroit has only 4 road wins this season as well. Their last away victory was December 14th in Montreal by a score of 2-1. In a 9-game road losing streak Detroit has been outscored 18 to 41.
Buffalo Sabres
Buffalo should be in a great spot to get a win on Thursday and in the next 3 games afterwards. That’s good, because the Sabres have some work today as four teams sit ahead of them in the Eastern Conference wild card race.
The Sabes’ offense has looked just about as bad as Detroit’s lately. Buffalo has lost 4 of 5, but has been held to 2 goals or less in every game over that span.
Buffalo is priced way too high for a ML play in this one. They returned from the all-star break with a 2-5 loss to Ottawa at home as -198 home favorites. They also just got thumped 1-6 by Colorado at home on Tuesday.
The Sabres lost goaltender Linus Ullmark in the Ottawa loss. Carter Hutton is a likely starter for Thursday but he gave up 5 of the 6 goals to the Avs on Tuesday. Rookie Jonas Johansson could also see some ice time vs. Detroit.
NHL Betting Trends:
- Red Wings are 10-42 last 52 overall
- Red Wings are 13-41 last 54 road games
- Sabres are 1-4 last 5 overall
- Road team is 4-0 last 4 meetings
- Red Wings are 13-5 last 18 in Buffalo
Free Detroit Red Wings vs. Buffalo Sabres NHL Prediction:
Detroit’s margin of defeat has been 13 goals over their last 4 games, all of which by at least 2 scores. With no value on the -220 and struggling offense (under) but bad defense (over) the Sabes puck line becomes the play.
