The Washington Capitals and the Buffalo Sabres meet in NHL action from KeyBank Arena on Saturday night. The Washington Capitals come into this game fresh off of a 4-2 loss at the hands of the Pittsburgh Penguins in their last game. Alex Ovechkin leads the Caps in scoring with 43 points including a team-high 20 goals and 23 assists while Evgeny Kuznetsov has 29 points with 20 assists. Tom Wilson has 24 points with 9 goals and 15 assists and John Carlson’s got 24 points as well with 6 goals and 18 apples. Ilya Samsonov has gone 11-2-1 with a 2.43 GAA and a .915 save percentage for the Caps while Vitek Vanecek is 4-3-5 with a 2.56 GAA and a .905 save percentage. The Buffalo Sabres will look to snap a six-game losing streak after a 2-1 loss at the hands of the New York Rangers last time out. Kyle Okposo leads the Sabres in scoring with 18 points including 6 goals and 12 assists while Tage Thompson has 16 points with a team-high 10 goals and Jeff Skinner has 16 points of his own split between 8 goals and 8 assists. Rasmus Dahlin has 15 points with a team-high 12 assists while year. Dustin Tokarski’s gone 4-5-3 with a 3.28 GAA and a .903 save percentage in goal for Buffalo while Aaron Dell is 0-5 with a 4.52 GAA and an .872 save percentage. Washington is 21-10 in their last 31 games against a team with a losing record and 11-5 in their last 16 games overall while the over is 5-0 in their last 5 games against a team with a losing record. Buffalo is 17-49 in their last 66 games overall and 11-27 in their last 38 games as a home underdog while the over is 6-1 in their last 7 games against a team with a winning record. Normally I could try to make a case for a home dog in certain spots, but this is not one of them. The Sabres at one point could only win at home, and now even that’s a reach. Washington’s playing some of their best hockey over the last couple of weeks and I think the Caps ice the Sabres with a win on the -1.5 puck line here.

That’s the question. But he did get the tying goal last night. Until he didn’t

Ill just say i like that version, too. This is first time I’ve heard it actually. And Dahlin will be fine. I like his love for UPL ❤️

Granato was very diplomatic, but I would hope KA or Pagula are trying to find out who the idiot is that made that call and get them fired. Obviously there needs to be someone better making calls

It wasn’t refs on ice, it was Toronto

Off

Three two letters words for small: Is it in? Oh no

Goal!!! Yes

Mark Pysyk nice play

Omg!!!!! A goal!!!!

Diver boy didn’t draw a penalty?

Stonewall Jackson was a civil war general

Another scoreless period

My cat came home from vet all drugged up and he was crazy hungry but I wanted to wait to feed him.

Two nothing Rangers, so it’s ok to call a penalty on NY .

Is he hungry?

Yup, support the puck

How many straight periods now without a goal?

Ya, we are going to get shut out again

9.5 on the dive

Come on Sabres!!

Same. No clue why that is

Rangers Odds-165 Sabres Odds+145 Over/Under6 No clue what the top numbers mean, but if I was betting I’d go over 6

I think the Rangers have goaltending issues, so maybe we capitalize on that

Blues down to heir fourth string goalie as well MARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo. -- Charlie Lindgren, the fourth-string goalie for the St. Louis Blues, could start their next three games.
