The New Jersey Devils (36-33-4) will battle the Buffalo Sabres (34-34-5) for the third time this season on Friday, March 29, at 7:00 PM ET at the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York. The Devils are slightly favored on the road with a moneyline of -120.

The Devils are 4-1 in their previous five games and are currently on a two-game win streak. Their latest success was a 6-3 outing on the road against the Toronto Maple Leafs, which marked their second road win in a row.

The Devils are 19-15-2 in road battles, which shows they are not the worst in the league for games away from their home arena. With some positive momentum on their side, this bodes well for their shot at success.

The Devils accumulate 3.30 goals on 31.6 shot attempts each game. Their power plays put them in a position to be successful, as they have scored 50 goals and allowed 41, which gives them a power play percentage of 22.6.

Their defense gives up 3.37 goals on 29.9 shots a game, slightly more than they put up offensively. Their defense also has a penalty-kill percentage of 81.4, meaning it can help slow down the Sabres better if put in those situations.

The Sabres are 2-3 in their last five games approaching this matchup. Their latest battle was a 6-2 defeat against the Ottawa Senators, which put them back on the losing side after having a win in the previous matchup.

They are back home after a handful of games on the road. Their record is 17-18-1, which shows that they are a coin flip in their own arena for victory.

The Sabres put up 2.96 goals and 31.1 shots each game. They will likely struggle in power plays for this game, as they have only scored 33 goals and have allowed 47 total with a power play percentage of 16.1.

Their defense is slightly more appealing than the Devils', as they allow opponents to average 3.03 goals on 29.4 shot attempts. They also have a solid penalty kill percentage, though it is slightly below the Devils'.
