Looking back at their past games, the St. Louis Blues have shown a strong offensive front. In their last encounter with the Anaheim Ducks, they secured a 3-1 victory, demonstrating solid defense with 27 saves and a save percentage of 96 percent while also showcasing their scoring ability by netting three goals on 27 shots – an impressive shooting percentage of 11 percent.


The team's power play has been effective as well; in that same game against the Ducks, they capitalized on one of their three power play opportunities. Faceoffs have been another area where St. Louis has excelled, winning 62 percent in that matchup.


In an earlier game against Washington Capitals – which was pushed into overtime and then decided by a shootout – the Blues emerged victorious once again with five points over four from Washington. Their goaltending was remarkable with 47 saves out of 51 shots for a save percentage of around 92 percent.


These statistics suggest that St. Louis is entering this game with confidence in both their offense and defense capabilities. Fans should expect them to leverage these strengths as they take on Buffalo Sabres on enemy ice.


The venue itself may pose challenges; playing away from home always adds pressure due to unfamiliar surroundings and lack of home crowd support. However, given recent performances, it seems likely that St. Louis will be able to adapt quickly and maintain control throughout the match.


Be sure not to miss this thrilling NHL matchup scheduled for November 24th at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, NY! Fans can catch all the action live on ESPN+ or BSMW for those following from afar or MSG-B if cheering from home territory.
