Detroit Red Wings and Buffalo Sabres head-to-head record
The Red Wings have won three of their previous five games with the Buffalo Sabres, indicating that this game will be hotly contested. Both clubs have the ability to produce offensive outbursts, as evidenced by the Red Wings' high-scoring 6-5 victory in their most recent meeting on December 10.
Buffalo has won two games, including a 5-3 triumph in October, demonstrating their ability to compete. The Sabres may attempt to capitalize on Detroit's league-worst 69.5% penalty kill, while Detroit's potent power play (28.2%, third) could take advantage of Buffalo's patchy penalty kill (76.8%, 22nd).
Special teams could be crucial. The Red Wings may have the advantage, but a close game is anticipated because Detroit has a little advantage in face-offs, and Buffalo's defense is still inconsistent.
