New York Rangers and Buffalo Sabres head-to-head record
The New York Rangers have enjoyed the better of the last five head-to-head matches, winning two of them. However, the Buffalo Sabres have proven they can come back, with two victories, which include a dominant 5-1 win in November 2023. The Rangers won their most recent game, 4–3, in December. However, the Sabres' 5–1 win earlier in the season showed their power. The Rangers are in great shape overall, and their special teams and goalie are especially strong. They are the favorites going into this game. The Sabres, on the other hand, will want to build on their current form in April and discover ways to hurt the Rangers' defense, especially if their power play can beat New York's penalty kill. It's possible for this game to be near, but the Rangers may have the upper hand because they have more players and have recently won a string of games against Buffalo.
