Devils Delivering on Offense
Even after an astonishing 13 straight wins, Devils head coach, Lindy Ruff, was not happy after a loss. After suffering a 2-1 loss on Wednesday, Ruff said, “I don’t like the feeling. I don’t like losing; I know it’s been a while, but you don’t want that feeling. Now you gotta get over that and get ready for your next game.”
New Jersey has been nearly unstoppable on offense this season, averaging 3.70 goals per game. The Devils are led by Jesper Bratt and his team-high 16 assists and 24 points.
The Devils have also been a good defensive team during the winning streak, as they are now just allowing 2.30 goals per game. Vitek Vanecek has gone 9-2-0 in net this season while also holding opponents to just 2.14 goals per game.
Sabres Struggling to Get Stops
The Buffalo Sabres continue to play in high-scoring games, and this team must find a way to get some stops on the defensive end. Buffalo is allowing 3.50 goals per game but has countered that by scoring 3.75 goals per game on offense.
Buffalo has killed off just 72 percent of their penalties this season, which could create some real issues in this one. The Sabres have scored on the power play 26 percent of the time, but they have to stop relying on offense to win every night.
Tage Thompson is having a huge season for the Sabres with 13 goals and 13 assists. Buffalo will need to control the puck if they want to knock off a good Devils team.
