The season's second meeting between the Buffalo Sabres (33-32-5) and Edmonton Oilers (41-21-4) will be held on Thursday, March 21, at 9:00 PM ET at Rogers Place in Edmonton, AB. The Oilers are currently favored to find success with a moneyline of -125.

The Sabres come into this game with a 3-2 record over their last five games. Their latest matchup was a 3.2 loss at the hands of the Vancouver Canucks while playing on the road. They have played their last three consecutive games on the road.

They could be stronger when playing on the road, as they have a 16-15-4 record. They are also experiencing a tough road stretch, and fatigue could have a big impact on this.

The Sabres score 2.96 goals on 31.1 shot attempts per game. They are likely to fail on power plays, as their power play percentage is 16.6.

Their defense is solid, but not that far away from their offense. They are a coin flip for how well they produce on both sides of the puck. So far, they allow 2.94 goals on 29.0 shot attempts from their opponents each game.

The Oilers are also 3-2 in their last five games, with a recent win under their belt. This recent triumph was a 3-2 overtime outing against the Montreal Canadiens while playing in the comfort of their home.

They are comfortable everywhere they play but boast a slightly better record at home this season. They have a 22-8-3 record here, with their last three games being played at home.

The Oilers showcase great offense, with 3.53 goals on 33.6 shot attempts a game. Their power plays will be a significant threat here, as they currently have a power play percentage of 26.4, which is already a handful of points higher than the Sabres'.

On their other end, they allow 2.86 goals on 28.6 shots from opposing teams. This is a healthy margin of victory, and they should have an advantage due to their ability to hold teams down on the defensive end.

MyBookie currently showcases appealing odds for this matchup, with the Edmonton Oilers as slight favorites for success. These two met earlier this month, which turned into a 3-2 shootout victory in favor of the Sabre at home.

While the Sabres won a close battle in their home arena on March 9, the Oilers offer a more compelling opportunity to win here when comparing their stats. Look for them to find success and extend their win streak.
