The Pittsburgh Penguins appear to have turned a corner over their last ten games, and they will be looking to maintain that solid run of form. However, they will be on the road against a very confident Buffalo Sabres on Friday. The Sabres have won each of their previous two games in the NHL.
Before Betting On Penguins vs Sabres
This should be an entertaining game on Friday evening, as both sides come into the fixture in very solid form. The Pittsburgh Penguins remain the top choice in the betting to claim victory, as they have closed in on the top teams in the Eastern Conference after winning eight of their previous ten. No team in the Eastern Conference have won more games than the Penguins over that same period.
Meanwhile, they have suffered just a single defeat in regulation time during that run. The Penguins were excellent winners in their previous fixture, as they recorded a strong 4-1 home success against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Sidney Crosby was the star in that fixture, as he scored twice. Meanwhile, other goals were added by Theodor Blueger and Bryan Rust.
However, the Sabres are unlikely to be overawed by the occasion on Friday, as they have been in very reliable form over their previous couple of games. Buffalo come into this fixture having recorded wins in each of their previous two, while they have won five of their previous ten games in the NHL. However, that has done little to ease their position in the Atlantic Division, as they remain second bottom in the standings.
Still, confidence will be high after their recent victory in the NHL. That success was a huge 9-4 win on the road against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Sabres started in very strong fashion, as they netted six times in the opening period. The other three goals were scored in the second period. It was a night to remember for Tage Thompson, as he scored five goals and recorded one assist.
