The Golden Knights conclude their five-game eastern road trip with this matchup. Las Vegas has won eight in a row, including the first four games of this trip. The Golden Knights have won their last five games by a combined six goals pulling off four victories by one goal apiece with three of them coming in overtime.

Las Vegas can't keep winning this way, catching all the breaks. This is a flat spot for the Golden Knights. They are looking forward to returning to Las Vegas, having been away this entire month, where they will host the Blues on Saturday.

Buffalo looks much improved this season. The Sabres are 7-6 and should be the more motivated team.

The Sabres are in circle-the-wagons mode after losing three in a row with the last defeat coming in embarrassing fashion, 4-1, to the lowly Coyotes at home two days ago.

This has been a home team series with the host winning the past six times.
