Buffalo Sabres vs Calgary Flames Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/08/25

The Buffalo Sabres continue their 6-game road trip with a matchup against the Calgary Flames on Monday night. The road has not been kind to the Sabres when it comes to scoring goals. Buffalo is averaging 2.42 goals per game on the road so far this season, which ranks 31st in the NHL. That is a steep drop off from the Sabres’ 3.31 goals per game at home, which is good for 10th in the NHL. Buffalo’s road woes could continue in this one, as Calgary goaltender Dustin Wolf is in a groove. Wolf has allowed just 2 total goals in 3 December starts, making 64 saves on 66 shots in that span.

The Flames have been among the lowest-scoring teams in the NHL all season long, as they rank dead last with 2.33 goals per game. The powerplay has been especially woeful, converting at a measly 13.1% clip — which also ranks last in the league. Buffalo isn’t the strongest defensive team out there, but its defensive inconsistencies may be neutralized by Calgary’s lack of offense. Look to the under in this one.
