The Hurricanes hold the statistical edge in nearly every category, particularly on special teams and in overall defense. The Sabres, however, boast a slightly better shooting percentage, which could play a role if they capitalize on limited chances.

Inside the Carolina Hurricanes

The Carolina Hurricanes (26-15-3) are holding steady in the 3rd spot in the Metropolitan Division, bolstered by strong team play and reliable goaltending. Jack Roslovic leads the way with 17 goals, while Martin Necas has contributed 35 assists, ranking among the top playmakers in the league.

Defensively, Carolina is one of the best, ranking 2nd in penalty kill percentage (85%) and 11th in goals against (121). Despite a recent loss to the lowly Anaheim Ducks, the Hurricanes have been competitive in nearly every matchup. Their -1.5 (+134) puck line offers value for those betting on a dominant road performance.

Inside the Buffalo Sabres

The Buffalo Sabres (16-22-5) are currently 8th in the Atlantic Division, struggling to find consistency this season. While Tage Thompson has been a bright spot offensively with 19 goals, the Sabres’ defense has been their Achilles’ heel. They rank 27th in goals against (145) and 20th in penalty kill percentage (78.4%).

Goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen has had a tough season, posting a .896 save percentage and a 3.02 goals-against average. Against a potent Hurricanes offense, Buffalo will need to play near-perfect hockey to have a chance.
