The Buffalo Sabres have shown commendable performance in their last 5 games, particularly in their home ground, robustly maintaining an average of 2.8 goals per game. While their record against the Hurricanes is balanced with 3 wins and 2 losses, they have demonstrated a significant offensive prowess with an average of 2.4 EV goals and 5.2 assists in their last 5 home games. The Sabres' average of 2.8 goals against the Hurricanes' 2.6 suggests a close match, but with the 1.5 puck line, the bet leans favorably towards the Sabres.

Betting on Buffalo Sabres with 1.5 in the 'Puck Line' market, therefore, is a statistically sound decision considering their recent performance and the model prediction for the game.

Frederik Andersen (Carolina Hurricanes) Over 22.5 Saves (+100)

The rationale for betting on Frederik Andersen to make over 22.5 saves in the game against the Buffalo Sabres is largely based on his recent performance data and the model's prediction. Looking at Andersen's last five (L5) away games, he has averaged 25 saves, which is over the proposed line of 22.5. Furthermore, he has faced an average of 27.6 shots against him in these games, suggesting that the volume of shots he is likely to face could be sufficient to enable him to reach the required number of saves. Additionally, the model prediction supports this outcome, forecasting that Andersen will make approximately 24.93 saves in the game. Although his current hit streak is zero, his past performance data and model insight provide a solid basis for betting on him to make over 22.5 saves.
