Buffalo Sabres vs Boston Bruins Prediction, Odds and Stanley Cup Playoffs Game 6 Picks for Today, 05/01/26

Following a massive Game 5 victory, the Boston Bruins stay alive and host the Buffalo Sabres for Game 6. In Buffalo’s first attempt to win its first series since the 2006-07 season, it fell short in a 2-1 overtime loss. Will the Sabres finish the job in Boston, or are we destined for Game 7 in Buffalo? It is time for our Sabres vs Bruins prediction.

The Bruins are coming off an emotional and all-important Game 5 victory to stave off elimination. Their leader, David Pastrnak, put the team on his back with an overtime-winning goal. The B’s now return to their home building, as they look to rectify one of the most embarrassing showing TD Garden has ever seen — a 6-1 loss in Game 4. Buffalo has obviously impressed in its first playoff appearance since 2010-11, but now the real test is knowing how to close out the series. Boston has been a playoff contender for quite some time now, with its core group of players being no strangers to adversity. A major problem for Buffalo will be trying to beat goaltender Jeremey Swayman, who bounced back with a .960 save percentage in Game 5. Both he and Pastrnak are not easy to beat when they are feeling themselves. This should be yet another dogfight. For this Sabres vs Bruins prediction, I am siding with Boston to win on its home ice to force a Game 7.
