With the Sabres holding a superior 46-22-8 record and second place in the Atlantic Division at 100 points, trader consensus slightly favors Buffalo at 54% implied probability over host Capitals (38-28-9, wild card contention) in this late-season clash with playoff implications. Both teams enter 6-2-2 in their last 10 amid short turnarounds—Sabres off a win vs. Islanders, Caps beating Philly—while season series sits 1-1. Buffalo's edge stems from top-10 goals against (2.95/game) and elite penalty kill (81.7%), though Sam Carrick (left arm, week-to-week) and Noah Östlund (upper body) are out; Washington counters with home ice but misses goaltender Charlie Lindgren and questions John Carlson (day-to-day, lower body). Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen likely starts for Buffalo against Logan Thompson.
