Buffalo Sabres vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 02/28/26

The Buffalo Sabres close out their road trip with a visit to Tampa Bay to face the Lightning. This will be their third game in four nights, so fatigue may begin to set in. They performed strongly against the Panthers less than 24 hours ago, securing a 3-2 victory. Having won two games in a row, they hope to continue their winning streak.

Tampa Bay has been involved in several high-scoring games this month, and that trend is likely to continue tonight. They are relatively healthy and average 3.56 goals per game. Although their goaltending has not been as sharp, having an offence capable of scoring over four goals per game mitigates that issue. Like Buffalo, this will also be their third game in four nights. With enough firepower on both sides, we can expect a high-scoring affair, so we will take the Over and anticipate a game filled with quality scoring chances.
