New York Rangers vs Buffalo Sabres Prediction

Give me the Sabres here. The defense for the Sabres struggled in the last game, but they are going to bounce back in a big way again. I Really don’t trust the Rangers defense and they are going to really struggle to get any sort of offense going here. Look for the Sabres to score at least four goals, and that is going to be enough for the Sabres to get the job done. Back the Sabres
