NEWARK, N.J. (Interstat) — The Buffalo Sabres will seek to avenge a lopsided loss and continue a recent surge when they visit the New Jersey Devils at Prudential Center on Sunday. The Devils (20-15-0) dominated the last meeting, shutting out the Sabres (15-18-0) 5-0 in Buffalo on Nov. 28. That result is part of a broader trend, as New Jersey has won seven of the last 10 matchups between the Eastern Conference foes. Buffalo enters with momentum from a 5-3 victory over Philadelphia on Thursday, marking its third win in four games. Center Josh Norris, a key acquisition, has been pivotal in the uptick. He has recorded eight points (three goals, five assists) in his last seven games, including a goal and two shots in the win over the Flyers. New Jersey has stabilized after a difficult stretch, winning two straight, including a 2-1 road victory over Utah on Friday. The Devils have relied on strong goaltending during the streak, allowing just two total goals. Winger Jesper Bratt, the team’s offensive catalyst, looks to break out after being held without a point in three consecutive games. He last registered a point with an assist on Dec. 14. The Sabres’ improved form faces a stern test against a Devils squad that has been strong on home ice, boasting a 12-6-0 record at Prudential Center. Buffalo’s road record sits at 8-10-0. According to National Statistical’s game simulator, the Devils are projected to edge the Sabres 4-3. The outcome could hinge on special teams, where New Jersey’s power play ranks among the league’s top units, while Buffalo’s penalty kill has struggled at times. Following this contest, Buffalo begins a three-game road trip in Ottawa on Tuesday. New Jersey visits the New York Islanders on Tuesday to start a stretch with five of its next six games away from home.
