Tight Game Looks Likely

The Kings and the Sabres should fail to surpass a total of 6 goals. Our prediction is available at -106 and these look like attractive odds.

Sabres Beat Kings in Pair’s Previous Clash

Los Angeles Kings claimed a home victory in their previous game. A 4-0 triumph against Edmonton Oilers at Crypto.com Arena made it back-to-back wins. Quinton Byfield landed 3 points, featuring 2 goals and 1 assist. David Rittich got a shutout making 26 saves.

Buffalo Sabres were defeated last time, making it three home losses on the spin. KeyBank Center saw them beaten 3-1 against St Louis Blues. Sabres had 34 shots and Kyle Okposo scored the only goal.

The scoreline was 5-3 in favor of the Sabres when they last played the Kings, with the encounter taking place at Crypto.com Arena. The previous 7 H2H meetings have involved the Sabres winning four times.

The 6 line hasn’t been covered in 8 of the last 10 Sabres games at home.
