Buffalo Sabres vs Anaheim Ducks Prediction

The Sabres and Ducks are going to be involved in a lower-scoring game. The Sabres in the last game didn’t give up a goal and they are going to dominate again here. The Ducks offense is averaging only 2.56 goals per game and they are going to step up here. The Sabres offense is also going to struggle to get the offense going here, and this game is going to end up staying under the total. Back the under to cash.
