New Jersey Devils vs Buffalo Sabres Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/28/25

The Buffalo Sabres are a different team on home ice. The Sabres have won just one of their 9 road games so far this season, but have been victorious in 8 of their 14 home games. The offense has been much more effective at home, as Buffalo’s goals per game average goes from ranking 26th in the NHL on the road (2.67), all the way up to 6th in the NHL at home (3.43). Tage Thompson was held off the scoresheet in Buffalo’s last contest on Wednesday, but he had scored a goal in 6 consecutive games prior to that. He’s on a roll right now, and should be able to lead the Sabres against a New Jersey still that is still middling without Jack Hughes.

The Devils are 3-3-0 without their superstar center, but all 3 wins have come by a single goal, with one coming in a shootout and one coming in overtime. The losses has been ugly, as the Devils were out-scored 12-4 in losses to the Panthers, Lightning, and Flyers last week without Hughes. Jacob Markstrom has struggled with consistency between the pipes, and owns a less-than-ideal .865 save percentage to go along with a 4.08 goals-against average on the road this season. Back Buffalo at home.
