Buffalo Sabres vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/19/26

The Carolina Hurricanes will host the red-hot Buffalo Sabres on Monday night. The Sabres come into this game with a record of 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. They are going up against a tough opponent in the Hurricanes, who are one of the more well-rounded teams in the league. Carolina the third highest-scoring team in the league, averaging 3.41 goals per game. The ‘Canes average the second-most shots on goal per game and average the fewest shots against per game of any team in the NHL. They are also one of the better home ice teams, boasting a record of 17-8-1 at the Lenovo Center. These teams have met twice already this season; they split those games at 1 win apiece.

This will be a real test for the Sabres to see where they stand. They have been playing well, but the Hurricanes are one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference and would likely have to get through them in the playoffs if they have Stanley Cup aspirations. I’m siding with the ‘Canes in this one.
