Buffalo Boasting Big Offense?
The Buffalo Sabres look to get back into the win column on Wednesday night as they take on the Detroit Red Wings. On Monday night, the Sabres lost in a high-speed 6-5 overtime affair against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Buffalo was down 2-0 early in the first period when star forward Tage Thompson turned in an incredible highlight-reel goal to cut the Lighting lead in half, followed by a quick goal from winger Jack Quinn to tie the game just before the end of the opening frame.
The Sabres would pull out to a 5-3 lead midway in the third period before giving up two goals late and a Steven Stamkos winner in overtime gave Buffalo their tenth loss in the last 12 games. Despite their losing efforts of late, the Sabres have been scoring in bunches, with five or more goals in three of their last four contests.
Red Wings Flying High in Atlantic?
The Detroit Red Wings look to bounce back on Wednesday night against the Buffalo Sabres after having their brief four-game win streak snapped on Monday night in a 4-2 loss against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Forward Moritz Seider scored his second goal of the season and added an assist late in the contest, while Ville Husso allowed four goals on just 13 shots, leaving Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde to pull the netminder in favor of backup Alex Nedeljkovic, who despite his struggles this season, saved all 12 shots he faced over the last 28 minutes of play on the ice.
Detroit is still fourth in the Atlantic Division NHL Standings 2022 and now with a slumping Buffalo Sabres team skating into Little Caesars Arena, they have a prime opportunity to get back into the win column on Wednesday.
