Coming into this game they have won three games in a row and they have been good all over the ice. In two of the games they scored five or more goals and in two of the games they gave up only one goal.
For the Lightning, it’s all about the offense. On the season they are averaging 3.5 goals per game and in this game it’s all going to be about running up the score.
If they can get out to a fast start the Sabres have already proven most of the season they have a hard team keeping up in high scoring games.
Buffalo Sabres
On the other side of this matchup is the Buffalo Sabres who are really struggling coming into this game. Coming into this game they have lost six of the last seven games with the only win coming against the Kings.
The defense hasn’t been terrible, but the offense has been letting them down, especially as of late. Over the last three games they have scored only one goal total.
Over the last five games they are averaging only 1.4 goals per game and if they want any chance the Lightning need to get out to fast start. If the offense struggles, they are going to have no chance to come away with a win.
