The Sabres have won three of their last five games, but four of those games were at home, where they have played well. They haven’t been as good on the road, losing three of four games, and are facing a team that has given up one goal in two home games, so expect them to struggle in this game. The Islanders haven’t played well offensively and scored eight goals in their last three games. They are averaging 2.5 goals per game at home, but they won’t have a hard time scoring in this game because the Sabres are giving up over three goals per game and 11 goals in their last three games, so take the Islanders to win this game.

Lastly the Islanders are 8-4 in their last 12 games at home and 5-0 in their last 5 games when playing at home vs the Buffalo Sabres.
