Two struggling teams that will only be playing for team pride will face on on the ice on Thursday night as the Detroit Red Wings to take to the road to face the Buffalo Sabres. The Sabres cruised in their last meeting versus Detroit as they picked up the 3-1 victory on February 9th.
Detroit Red Wings
And while the Red Wings have not had an ideal season (to say the least), they are certainly wrapping up their year on a winning note by winning four of their last five entering this contest. During this time, the offense continues to labor due to inconsistency, however, the defense has risen to the occasion in allowing just 12 goals during their current five game streak.
Point/shot lead Dylan Larkin scored his 28th goal on the season after going scoreless in in his prior three outings. Andreas Athanasiou also scored a goal in the contest, his 29th, in addition to Chrisopher Ehn also posting a score as the Red Wings ended with 23 shots on the night.

And despite the defense allowing 41 shots on goal to a solid San Jose State team, Jonathan Bournier had 29 saves on the night while picking up his 8th win of the year. The win was Detroit’s third road win in their last four outings.
Larkin scored the only goal for Detroit in their 3-1 defeat versus the Sabres.
Buffalo Sabres
Conner Sheary along with Casey Mittelstadt and Kyle Okposso posted scores in their win over the Red Wings in early February. Mittelstadt and Okposso scored on power play goals as Buffalo obtained just 21 shots on goal for the night.
Mittelstadt also scored in the Sabres last outing versus the Toronto Maple Leafs as he put the team up early by a 1-0 score. However, the Maples Leafs were able to also post three straight goals soon after as the Sabres ended their scoring with a goal by Alexander Nylander in the third period.

The Sabres enter this matchup losers of four straight games, overall. They have truly played horrible on both ends of the ice as their defense alone has allowed 18 goals during this time.

4* Free NHL Betting Pick: Over
I happen to believe that the Sabres will pick up a 5-3 victory over Detroit, once again, in this Thursday night matchup. Nonetheless, I will back the over as a strong play as Buffalo has not been able to keep team out of the net lately. On the other hand, Detroit has had many of the same problems as they rank 26th in goals allowed per game (3.3) along with opponents shots per game with 34.
NHL Free Score Prediction: Red Wings 3 – Sabres 5
Both these teams have struggled on the defensive end, in particular, all season. It is for this reason that one should look for this contest to be a high scoring affair throughout as inconsistency on the defensive end of the ice will rear its ugly head, yet again.
