Sabres vs Red Wings prediction

The Sabres have put together a decent week, and they’ve won 5 of the last 7 games against the Red Wings. The Sabres are also still alive in the playoff race, so there’s reason to consider them in the underdog role. However, the Red Wings are the better team, they’re at home, and they have a much better chance of sneaking into the postseason. This is also an early start which favors the Red Wings at home. The Red Wings beat the Sabres 4-1 less than a month ago. Give me the Red Wings.
