Buffalo Sabres vs Boston Bruins Prediction

The Sabres offense has been such a major issue and they aren’t going to find success here. The Bruins’s defense is going to step up in a major issue, and that will be the difference here. Look for the Sabres to fail to get over the one-goal mark. The Bruins are going to put on a show with the offense and this is going to be an easy victory. Back the Bruins on the puck line to cash.
