Sabres vs Oilers Prediction

As Ive said many times this season, the Sabres are one of those teams that lets you down once you start to believe. The Sabres have lost six straight games, and they’re getting rocked defensively in those games. The Edmonton Oilers are one of the more talented teams in the league and have the offensive firepower to take advantage of a slumping defense. The Oilers are coming off a big win over the Stars where they scored five goals. If there’s a carry-over effect, the Sabres are going to be in trouble. I have to side with the Oilers in this spot, and of course I’ll side with the PL to shave down the price. The Sabres are watching their season fall apart quickly.
