The team from Pennsylvania won both Sabres vs Penguins games played in 2021. Both those games were played in Buffalo, but on Wednesday, March 24, the two meet at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh.
The Penguins are going to have some fans in the stands which should make their job even easier. The only thing that’s got to worry them ahead of the clash with the worst team in the East Division is that they haven’t been playing too well lately.
The Pens have lost a couple of important games last week, which has put their Stanley Cup Playoff future in danger. What this means is that winning two points in the Sabres vs Penguins matchup on Wednesday evening is of utmost importance for this team.
- Date: Wednesday, March 24, 2021
- Time: 7:00 pm (Eastern Time)
- Place: PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, PA
Sabres vs Pens Preview
The Buffalo Sabres are the worst team in the East. Actually, they might be the very worst team in the entire NHL. With four times more losses than wins, this team has no chance to play in the 2021 Playoffs. Still, this doesn’t mean the Sabres have nothing to fight for.
They can look at the current season as an ideal opportunity to prepare for the next one. New tactics and new players should be given a chance. Of course, such a decision would come with some risks. But, the Sabres got nothing to lose – they’ve already lost everything.
Sure, there’s one bad thing that could still happen this season for them. They could get demolished by someone in the same manner the Rangers destroyed Flyers 9-0 last Wednesday.
The worries about a humiliating defeat in the Sabres at Penguins game are pretty much justified. Not only are the Sabres the team with the most conceded goals in the East, but the Penguins are among the highest-scoring teams in the division.
Sabres at Penguins Prediction
The Penguins are the better team and they should win this game. It’s not just about the player quality, but they also have a better coach and they are hungry for points. Grabbing two points in the Sabres at Penguins game would help their Stanley Cup efforts.
