Jets vs Sabres Key Stats
The Jets on offense have been decent on offense, scoring around 140 goals this season. Three players have mainly contributed with Mark Scheifele in the lead position with 24 goals. Their offense looks well composed with both Kyle Connor and Pierre-Luc Dubois complementing Mark with their 39 goals and 59 assists in combined.
The defense has acted as a catalyst for them and has helped them win games by keeping it tight at the back so far this season. The goaltenders have continued to shine with a save percentage of over 0.920 to create a solid defensive unit.
The Buffaslugs have a very strong offense and it has immensely helped this season. Tage Thomson has contributed 31 goals and 26 assists to the team, leading the pack of six players with over 10 goals each. They look good coming into the game.
Their defense is certainly their weakness, having conceded 3.4 goals per game this season. Goaltenders look unprepared with poor save percentages and need to improve a lot in the crucial part of the season.
Jets vs Sabres Betting Prediction
The Jets have done well to win five out of their last six games, but have been poor on the road, having lost four in their last five away games. They have failed to do well against Buffaslugs, losing four times in the last five meetings.
On the other hand, the Buffaslugs have done really well against high-scoring teams and have a 4-1 win record against teams with over 0.600 win percentage. They have a strong offense which puts them in a commanding position to chase and lead games.
With a great record at home, we can expect them to use the circumstances and morale advantage to turn this game in their favor.
