Can Red Wings Rebound After Loss To Leafs?
The Buffalo Sabres have seemingly been a bit more competitive of late, but it doesn’t mean enough to those who bet online. They have won two of four and one of the losses was in overtime, but if you’re betting on the team, you’re still only 2-2.
And before that, the team was riding an eight-game losing streak, so they’re definitely hard to trust in the sportsbook. But maybe this four-game stretch is a baby step?
We’ll know more Wednesday when they take on the Detroit Red Wings, a team that just suffered a loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday.
That put an end to their four-game win streak. They’re favored on the NHL betting odds here, but are they the best play to make?
Let’s check the latest NHL odds, stats, injury reports, and NHL lines for Sabres vs Red Wings. We’ve plenty of NHL betting odds for you to consider.
Sabres Desperate To Get Over The Hump
Buffalo just can’t seem to win consistently. One of the reasons they’ve been doing slightly better of late is that they’re allowing fewer goals. Prior to giving up six to Tampa Bay on Monday, they had given up seven in their three previous outings.
Goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen was guilty of giving up the six goals (on just 25 shots) to Tampa Bay and he might get Wednesday off as a result.
Eric Comrie or Craig Anderson could get the start instead. Comrie is 4-7-0 with a 3.62 GAA and a .887 save percentage on the season. Meanwhile, Anderson is 4-4-0, 2.76, .917.
Anderson might give this team the best chance to win these days.

Detroit Sees Win Streak Get Snapped
Detroit was starting to get rolling before their loss to the Maple Leafs. However, it is a little worrisome that their goaltending was absolutely atrocious in that matchup.
Ville Husso allowed four goals on 13 shots before Alex Nedeljkovic relieved and stopped all 12 he faced. Detroit’s defense played great when it came to limiting shots on the net.
If the Red Wings become a turnstile on the defensive end again, their offense will need to pick it up. Dylan Larkin leads the team with 24 points with at least one point in 11 of his last 14 games.
