Pittsburgh Penguins vs Buffalo Sabres Prediction Tommy Pro Tipster

The Pittsburgh Penguins have shown a mixed form recently. They have been strong offensively, consistently scoring more than 5.5 goals in their last five games. Key players like Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby have been instrumental, with Malkin scoring multiple goals in several matches. However, their defense has been inconsistent, as seen in their 0-5 loss to the New York Rangers. They have been effective in faceoffs, often winning more than their opponents, and have a solid powerplay unit, scoring in crucial moments.

The Buffalo Sabres are experiencing a challenging period, with three recent losses. Despite this, they have shown potential in their attacking play, with Alex Tuch and Tage Thompson being standout performers. Their ability to score more than 1.5 goals in the first period is notable. However, their defense has struggled, as highlighted in their 1-4 defeat to the New Jersey Devils. They have been strong in faceoffs and have shown resilience in shorthanded situations, scoring a few shorthanded goals.
