Dallas Stars vs Buffalo Sabres Prediction & Picks, November 14, 2026

The Dallas Stars are rolling with seven wins in their last ten games, showing great form as they face the Buffalo Sabres. The Stars are also tough defensively, blocking more shots than the league average and putting pressure on their opponents. Playing at home in the American Airlines Center, they have a solid chance to keep their winning streak alive. While this matchup is close, the Sabres have a lot of players who haven't built strong chemistry yet, with many not even reaching ten games together. This could give the Stars an advantage. Betting on the Stars to win seems smart, but keep in mind that any team can surprise you on a given night.

Dallas Stars vs Buffalo Sabres: Under 5.5 Total Goals (+120)

The Dallas Stars are strong lately, winning seven of their last ten games, while the Buffalo Sabres are struggling with just four wins in the same period. The Stars have shown solid defense, averaging almost 15 blocked shots a game, which is better than the league average. This means they're good at stopping opponents from scoring. Given their strong defense and the Sabres' recent struggles, betting on fewer than 5.5 total goals seems smart. However, it's worth noting that both teams can surprise at times, so it's not a guarantee. With Dallas playing at home, their defensive play might just keep the score low.

Dallas Stars vs Buffalo Sabres: Buffalo Sabres 3-Way Moneyline (+180)

The Dallas Stars are doing well, winning 7 of their last 10 games, but the Buffalo Sabres have a good chance to surprise them. Even though the Sabres have only won 4 of their last 10, they have been playing tough and can hold their own against the Stars. Buffalo blocks fewer shots and lands fewer hits than the league average, but that doesn't mean they can't compete. With odds of +180, betting on the Sabres feels like a solid pick. The most concrete risk is that the Stars are strong at home, making this a challenging matchup for Buffalo.

Dallas Stars vs Buffalo Sabres: Jake Oettinger Over 21.5 Saves (-130)

Jake Oettinger has been solid for the Dallas Stars, helping them win 7 of their last 10 games. His ability to make key saves has been crucial, especially since the Stars tend to give up a decent number of shots. With the Sabres struggling lately, it's likely they will test Oettinger early and often, pushing him over 21.5 saves. The Sabres have only won 4 of their last 10 games and their recent goal-scoring has not been impressive. This matchup is pretty tight, and Oettinger might face more shots than usual, especially if the Sabres try to turn things around. There's definitely a chance he can hit that saves mark, but he needs to be ready for a busy night in goal.

Dallas Stars vs Buffalo Sabres: Jamie Benn Under 0.5 Assists (-278)

For Jamie Benn to get less than half an assist tonight, the Dallas Stars need to focus on their strong goal-scoring and solid defense. They've won seven out of their last ten games, showing great form. Benn has been involved in the action, but with the Stars blocking a good number of shots and playing tough, he may not get the chances he needs to set up a goal. The Buffalo Sabres have struggled lately, managing only four wins in their last ten games. They also block fewer shots compared to Dallas, which could limit Benn's opportunities. With both teams playing hard and Dallas being strong at home, there's a good chance Benn won't reach an assist tonight. The risk here is that Benn could surprise with a sudden play, but overall, the numbers suggest he might not get one.

Dallas Stars vs Buffalo Sabres: Zach Benson Over 0.5 Goals (+290)

For the bet to win tonight, Zach Benson needs to score at least one goal against the Dallas Stars. The Stars have been strong lately, winning seven out of ten games, which shows they can find the back of the net. Benson has a real chance since he plays for the Buffalo Sabres, a team that, while struggling a bit with only four wins in their last ten, still has potential. Dallas does a good job blocking shots, but they also allow chances. The Stars average over 20 hits per game, so there will be opportunities for a skilled player like Benson to find space and score. One concern is the Sabres' lower shot-blocking average, which could mean more chances for Dallas to score. However, with Benson's talent, he has a solid shot at finding the net tonight.
