The Sabres and the Islanders lock horns in the National Hockey League action on Tuesday. Here is our prediction of how the game could turn out.

Command Analysis

Buffalo Sabres

Buffalo endured a three-games losing streak but found strength to end it and beat Montreal with a score of 5:3. Skinner had a career performance - he scored four goals and also gave an assist. Before that, the Sabres had a strong outing against the Blue Jackets but fell short, losing 4:3 in overtime. Now the team is back at their home arena and will be looking to build on their success.

New York Islanders

The Islanders started their road trip with a crushing victory at Vancouver (6:3). Every player of the first line excelled in attack. But in the following game, the Isles suffered a defeat to Edmonton (1:3). Neither could they find their game at Calgary (2:5). The match was closer than the score implies, but New York's goalie Sorokin had a poor performance and saved only 82% of shots.
