Premium NHL Pick: Mar 29

We have one pick today

Buffalo Sabres @ Boston Bruins

This will be the 5th game between these teams and Buffalo Sabres, having secured their play off spot will try to beat the Boston Bruins for the 2nd time this season. Boston Bruins need 2 points to keep trailing Atlanta Thrashers away from them. Bruins have 80 points and they sit at 8th place in Eastern Conference with Atlanta Thrashers 2 points behind them.

Sabres couldn't beat the Ottawa Senators in the fifth game between them but they were excellent against the Lightning. They won the game 7-1 on Saturday and they were so sharp in the offense scoring 7 goals on only 26 shots. 3 powerplay goals on 4 chances wete the best they had in a long time. That was their 4th win in 5 games.

Bruins alternated wins and losses last week. Falling at home to the Lightning, they were desperate against the Flames and it surely helped them beat the Flames 5-0! They were good on powerplays, scoring 3 on 4 just like Sabres did against the Lightning. If these teams can carry that performance to tonight's game, we will watch a very entertaining game.

Sabres might be without Tim Connoly, Patrick Kaleta, Raffi Torres and Vanek as all players are listed as day to day. Bruins are still without star player Savard.

Sabres clinched playoffs on Saturday and I think they will be more relaxed against the Bruins tonight. Bruins are desperate for a victory and they have already beaten the Sabres three times this season. They should do it again tonight.
