The Devils finally picked up a win against a good team when the Devils won over the Wild 5-4 in the last game. However, the Devils are a team that has a very weak offense and often when they are able to get such a strong flurry in one game the team tends to have a major let down in the next game and that is most like what will happen in this game here.
The Sabres for their part are a team that has battled back quite a bit from the problems they have had on the season, but the Sabres are also a team that would like to be able to come into the game here and start to be taken seriously again as they were early on before they slipped back to a rebuilding phase.

The Devils picked up a win over the Wild in the last game, but the 5 goals in the game usually is followed up by an offensive let down in the next game by the Devils. Look for that pattern to continue here as the Devils offense seems to forget where the rink is and has problems scoring. Final Score, Buffalo Sabres win 3-1.
