Buffalo Sabres (4-1-0) vs. Seattle Kraken (2-3-2)
The 2022-23 NHL season goes on with a ten-game Tuesday card and brings the interconference clash from Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Washington, where the Buffalo Sabres face off against the Seattle Kraken with a puck drop at 10:00 PM ET.
Buffalo heads to Seattle as a small +110 moneyline underdog with a total of 6.5 goals. Last season, the Kraken swept the Sabres, winning 5-2 as -200 home favorites and 7-4 as -135 road favorites.
The Buffalo Sabres are searching for their fourth straight victory. They’ll wrap up a four-game road trip in Seattle after outlasting Edmonton 4-2, Calgary 6-3, and Vancouver 5-1. Last Saturday, the Sabres trounced the Canucks as +145 moneyline dogs, and Victor Olofsson led the way with a couple of goals and an assist. Buffalo killed three of Vancouver’s four power-play opportunities, while Craig Anderson posted 29 saves on the night.
“We were under a pretty good barrage in the second and Anderson and our group of defensemen, I thought played really well,” Sabres coach Don Granato said. “And the third we needed to get back to a little bit more of our game. We were able to do that early and Casey Mittelstadt and Olofsson teamed up and t hat was a really big moment for us.”
