The Bruins season appears to have slipped away and that will be even more evident when they lose at home to the Eastern Conference worst team, the Buffalo Sabres.

Buffalo have been hitting a bit of form, getting recent wins over the Golden Knights and the Oilers and will take another scalp in the Bruins who have given up hope of a playoff berth in 2025.

Buffalo did a number on Boston last time they played with Tage Thompson’s three goals giving the Sabres a 7-2 victory. Expect another big performance from Thompson, who is in fine goal scoring form at the moment.

Back the 27-year-old to net again against the Bruins and have a multi point game.

Boston have lost 4 of their last 5 home games.
Boston have conceded 12 goals in their last 2 matches.
Tage Thompson scored a hattrick last time he faced Boston

Boston won the series 2-1.

Buffalo Sabres Form

The Sabres are playing like a team that has nothing on the line (in a good way), because that is exactly their story.

Sitting at the bottom of the East with a 26-33-6 record, the Buffalo season has not gone to plan, with so much potential before the start of the season. Anyway, they are now 2 from their last three games, beating Cup contenders Edmonton and most recently Vegas 4-3 in a shootout.

Buffalo’s defence is nothing great and their success relies on their offence more often than not. Scoring 3.12 goals per game ranks them 12th in the NHL but it is no good if you can’t keep the puck out of your own net.

Buffalo Sabres Team News

No recent injury news for Buffalo.

Boston Bruins Form

Boston are clinching onto hope that they can get it together and snatch a wildcard spot in the East, but it is not looking good. After giving up their long-serving captain Brad Marchand ina trade, it is like the Bruins have conceded defeat in the 2024-25 season.

The Bruins have won just 3 of 8 matches in March and have conceded 6 goals in each of their last 2 games.

With no real offensive spark besides David Pastrnak, it appears to be a long end to the season for Bruins fans.

Boston Bruins Team News

No recent injury news for Boston.
