How to Watch: US TV: Fan Duel Sports West; MSG Buffalo; ESPN+. Canada TV: Sportsnet+.

Time: 4 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)

Our second game of NHL predictions has the Buffalo Sabres going for the season sweep against the Los Angeles Kings. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is getting the start for the Sabres, who are winners of nine of the last 10 games. Tage Thompson leads the club in goals (35) and points (71) this season.

Darcy Kuemper is the probable starter for the Kings, who are 5-3-2 in their last 10 games. However, Los Angeles is coming off a loss to the Philadelphia Flyers last time out. New acquisition Artermi Panarin is first in assists (49) and points (72) for the Kings.

Both teams have plenty to play for at the moment. However, the Sabres grab the win.

Prediction: Sabres win 5-3.
