Buffalo Sabres and Edmonton Oilers head-to-head record
Based on the last five matches, the Oilers have prevailed in three of them, including an overwhelming 8-3 victory in March of last year. The Oilers have continuously outscored the Buffalo Sabres, winning two of their games by a 3-2 margin, even though they did achieve a close 3-2 victory in March 2024.
Edmonton is anticipated to dominate possession and generate more scoring opportunities because of their enhanced offensive firepower and capacity to produce more shot attempts.
Given how poorly they have performed defensively this season, Buffalo will have to tighten up. The Oilers could defeat the Sabres in a close game if previous history is any indication, but Buffalo might fight to halt their losing streak.
