In the match between the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Buffalo Sabres, a high total is expected due to both teams' weak defensive play. Both teams are at the bottom of the conference, with similar levels of performance. Columbus is playing at home, but this does not give them a clear advantage. Playing away, Buffalo also lacks consistency. Both teams often exceed the total in their games, which creates conditions for a large number of goals scored.
