Buffalo Sabres vs Vegas Golden Knights: Under 6.5 Total Goals (-115)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The Buffalo Sabres and the Vegas Golden Knights both have a pretty even chance of scoring in this matchup, which makes the total goals bet an interesting one. The Sabres have been landing about 19 hits a game, while the Golden Knights are doing even better with 22. This suggests that both teams might focus more on defense, which could keep the score down.
When you look at their recent games, both teams have won 5 out of their last 10. The Sabres have been blocking 13 shots a game, slightly below the league average, while the Knights sit right at it. With both teams performing similarly on defense, it seems likely we could see fewer than 6.5 total goals in the game. Just keep in mind, with both teams playing close to their averages, this could go either way.
Buffalo Sabres vs Vegas Golden Knights: Vegas Golden Knights 3-Way Moneyline (+150)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The Vegas Golden Knights have been holding their own lately, winning five out of their last ten games. They've been tough on defense, blocking 14.1 shots a game, which is right on par with the league average. They're also landing a solid number of hits, showing they're not afraid to get into the physical side of the game.
The Buffalo Sabres, while also having five wins in their last ten, have been struggling a bit more in terms of hitting and blocking shots. The two teams are closely matched, but the Golden Knights' better defensive play gives them a solid chance to win this game. It's worth noting that the Sabres are playing at home, which could give them a boost, but the odds make Vegas a tempting pick here.
Buffalo Sabres vs Vegas Golden Knights: Vegas Golden Knights +1.5 Puck Lines (-256)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The Vegas Golden Knights have been playing fairly well lately, winning five of their last ten games. They seem to be finding their rhythm, which is important when facing a team like the Buffalo Sabres. The Sabres have struggled with consistency, and many of their players haven't even hit ten games this season, which could mean they're still trying to find their footing.
I like the Golden Knights to cover the puck line at +1.5. Their recent form gives them a solid chance to either win or keep the game close. However, the Sabres could surprise if they manage to rally together, so that's a risk to keep in mind. Overall, it feels like the Golden Knights have the upper hand in this matchup.
Buffalo Sabres vs Vegas Golden Knights: Shea Theodore Over 1.5 Shots on Goal (-102)
Odds correct at time of publishing
Shea Theodore is set to play for the Vegas Golden Knights against the Buffalo Sabres at KeyBank Center. Both teams have been pretty even lately, winning five of their last ten games. Theodore has a good chance to get over 1.5 shots on goal, especially since he plays a big role in his team's offense. The Sabres have been blocking fewer shots than average, which might give him some extra chances to shoot.
The risk here is that both teams are closely matched, so the game could go either way. However, Theodore's ability to get involved in the play means he could easily find opportunities to take those shots. With the way both teams are performing, this could be a fun bet to watch.
Buffalo Sabres vs Vegas Golden Knights: Mitch Marner Over 0.5 Points (-196)
Odds correct at time of publishing
At KeyBank Center, the Buffalo Sabres are going up against the Vegas Golden Knights. Both teams have won five of their last ten games, which makes this matchup pretty even. Buffalo has a solid shot-blocking game, averaging 13.1 blocks, but they might struggle a bit with physicality, landing fewer hits than the league average. That could open up chances for the Golden Knights to create scoring opportunities.
Mitch Marner is a strong pick to score a point in this game. He's been playing well, and with both teams fighting closely for every point, he should find ways to contribute. The biggest risk here is that both teams are pretty evenly matched, so it could go either way. Still, I think Marner has a good shot to help out his team.
Buffalo Sabres vs Vegas Golden Knights: Jack Quinn Over 0.5 Goals (+230)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The Buffalo Sabres have been showing some fight lately, winning half of their last ten games. Their home ice advantage at KeyBank Center should help as they take on the Vegas Golden Knights, who are also sitting at five wins in their last ten. Jack Quinn is in a good spot to score since both teams have been a bit inconsistent defensively, with the Sabres allowing chances in their own zone.
Betting on Jack Quinn to score is worth a shot at these odds. The Sabres average fewer blocked shots and hits compared to the league, which could lead to more scoring opportunities. The biggest risk is that both teams are pretty evenly matched, so the game could swing either way. Still, with Quinn's talent, he has a solid chance to find the back of the net.
