Following a frustrating loss at home, the Chicago Blackhawks are on the road against the Buffalo Sabres on the second half of a back-to-back.

Upon returning from their six-game road trip earlier this month, the Chicago Blackhawks take their final trip on the road in November on Friday. After a 3-2 loss to the Seattle Kraken at the United Center on Thursday, the Hawks have a chance to get right with a tilt in Buffalo, NY. The Buffalo Sabres are the challenger on the end of a back-to-back.

Chicago Blackhawks at Buffalo Sabres Preview

The Blackhawks will tell you they should have won on Thursday. A 2-0 lead after two periods melted away in the third period. Factor in an unpopular call late from the officials that led to the game-winner and you have a recipe for disaster. However, Friday’s game is the perfect chance to wipe away the sins of yesterday, forcing the team to move on quickly. The Sabres are last place in the Eastern Conference, but are a respectable 6-4-2 at home this season. The Blackhawks need to bring their A-game to capture two points.

The Blackhawks will be without Andre Burakovsky, who left Thursday’s game after taking a hit to the head. That will leave the Blackhawks without one of their top scorers, putting more pressure on players like Connor Bedard, Tyler Bertuzzi, Teuvo Teravainen, and Frank Nazar to carry the offense. In addition, Arvid Soderblom will man the net, looking to replicate his performance against the Calgary Flames on Tuesday.
