Buffalo Sabres vs Winnipeg Jets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/05/25

The Buffalo Sabres are travelling to Winnipeg to face the Jets for the second time this season. So far this year, Buffalo has won only 2 road games and has struggled to keep the puck out of its net. Although the Sabres have shown some improvement in their play, it still isn’t at the level required for a winning team. Their penalty kill has emerged as a potential bright spot. However, overall, their performance remains just average.

The Jets have lost 4 out of their last 5 games, including a recent 5-1 defeat to the Sabres. The absence of Connor Hellebuyck has been noticeable, but their biggest issue is their struggle to generate offence. Besides their top line, the team’s depth has not been contributing significantly. Their power play is currently operating at 21%, which is a positive aspect, but they face a tough matchup against one of the best penalty-killing teams. The game is likely to be close, but it’s worth noting that the Sabres are a below-average team. We predict that the Jets will win at home.
