The Sabres are coming into this game with a 26-33-6 record this season and they have been one of the worst teams in the Eastern Conference this season. They have been playing better recently as they have won 2 of their last 3 games and they are coming off of a 4-3 win against the Knights in their last game, but both of those wins came at home and they have still lost 7 of their last 9 games. They have been much worse on the road this season and in their recent games, losing their last 8 straight games on the road and their last game on the road 7-3 against the Red Wings. Their defense has also been much worse in these games as they have allowed 4+ goals in a majority of those. They are going up against a Bruins team that is 30-30-8 this season and they have not been great in their recent games. They have lost their last 2 straight games, but they do have 2 wins in their last 4 games and will be hungry to bounce back here as they are coming off of a 6-2 loss at home against the Lightning in their last game. The Bruins have had an awful season as they are currently sitting in 7th place in the Atlantic, right above the Sabres, but they are also 10 points ahead of the Sabres so the Bruins are still in this playoff race. They are 4 points behind the last team in the Wild Card so they can still make a playoff push, but these are the games they need to win at home against the worst teams in the conference. The Bruins will win this game at home.
