Their recent 3-2 loss to the San Jose Sharks highlighted the importance of maintaining offensive pressure throughout the game. In contrast, Buffalo has shown promise offensively, averaging 2.64 goals per game and showcasing a strong power play at an 18.4% conversion rate. However, their defensive game needs improvement, as they are conceding an average of 3.25 goals per game. Goaltender Arvid Soderblom will be in net for the upcoming game against Anaheim.
