The Florida Panthers and Buffalo Sabres face off on Sunday in an Eastern Conference NHL showdown at the KeyBank Center. When these two teams faced off on March 7th it was Florida that won 6-1.
Florida Panthers
Florida comes into this game with a 46-15-6 record overall and they have gone 18-9-6 against the spread. Florida faced off with the New Jersey Devils on Saturday and it was the Panthers that won 7-6 in overtime. The Panthers really struggled early in the game but they scored four goals in the 3rd period to even force overtime.
Florida is averaging 4.1 goals per game while their defense is giving up 2.90 per game. The offense is ranked 1st in the NHL and it’s going to be important that the offense has a big game in this one.
The best player this season for Florida has been Jonathan Huberdeau who has scored 23 goals and added 73 assists. In this game if they can get the goal scoring early they will be in good shape to come away with the victory.
Buffalo Sabres
On the other side of this matchup is the Buffalo Sabres who sit with a 25-33-11 record and they have gone 13-16-6 at home. It has been a down season, but they have played well as of late winning two of their last three games.
In the last game against the Nashville Predators the offense scored four goals and that was enough for the victory. Buffalo is averaging 2.71 goals per game while their defense is giving up 3.48 goals per game. The last time these two teams played the defense was awful and that can’t be the case again in this game.
The best player this season for Buffalo has been Tage Thompson who has scored 30 goals and added another 23 assists.

All the trends point towards the over and It wouldn’t shock me if the Predators put this game over the total by themselves. Look for both the Sabres defense to struggle, and this game is going to go over the total. Back the over. This is one of the top plays on the entire board for Sunday.
