Buffalo Sabres vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Tuesday, 12/09/25

Tuesday night in the NHL brings us a showdown between the Buffalo Sabres and Edmonton Oilers. This is the second and final matchup between the 2 this season, and here is a Sabres vs Oilers prediction for the action. Following a rough 4-6-3 stretch in October/November and some inconsistent play shortly thereafter, the Oilers seem to be tightening the screws. They are 3-1-0 in their last 4 games, outscoring teams 19-7 — and their only loss during this stretch is a 1-0 setback against red-hot Minnesota Wild team. This is the kind of play expected from these Oilers, and with lots of work to do to climb the standings they cannot afford to slow down. Luckily for them, they are on home ice and welcoming a reeling Sabres squad on the second leg of a back-to-back situation.

Fatigued, struggling (2-5-0 in their last 7 and outscored 28-17), and disappointed with their play, it must be tough for the Sabres to have confidence in themselves in this one as they try and avoid a fourth straight loss. Edmonton also owes them payback on the heels of a 5-1 Buffalo win in November. With the Oilers looking as good as they are, the league is getting put on watch. I expect domination in this one, so for this Sabres vs Oilers prediction let’s take Edmonton on the -1.5 puck line.
