The Sabres have been surprisingly good to start the season; they're 4-1 and scoring an average of 4.40 goals per game. Buffalo's Eric Comrie has a 3.00 GAA. Even though he played for the Jets last season, he faced the struggling Kraken twice and allowed three goals in each start. On the other hand, the Kraken are only 2-5 thus far, but they've still managed to put up an average of 3.00 goals per game. Martin Jones has a 3.91 GAA, and the over is 3-1 in his starts. Last season, the Kraken won both games against the Sabres: 5-2 and 7-4. Both teams' offenses should continue to produce, so I'll hope for a high-scoring game tonight.

The Sabres have won the first three contests of their four-game road trip despite being outshot 121-83. The Kraken have dropped two of three, even though they've outshot their opponents 107-85. Buffalo owns a minus-48 shot differential, while Seattle is plus-40 so far this season. This will be Buffalo's first visit to Climate Pledge Arena. I like the home team in this spot quite a bit.
