Sabres vs Jets Pick

This matchup will be determined by which team manages special teams better. Winnipeg holds a notable advantage, especially on the power play. Buffalo’s offense is capable of surges, yet the Jets’ defense has been more stable over the last week, outside of the Carolina loss. Winnipeg also enters with a 7–6–0 road record and just beat a Nashville team playing well at home. Buffalo’s inconsistency in net creates more possible problems than does Winnipeg’s.
