Money Line Pick
BUF Sabres Win(+110)
Reasoning
The Buffalo Sabres will take on the Nashville Predators on Tuesday. The Sabres currently rank 6th in the Eastern Conference while the Predators rank 11th in the Western Conference. While the Sabres are better on the season, both teams are in very similar form coming into this one, as both teams have won 6 of their last 10 games overall. On one side, the Sabres have won 8 of their last 10 away and the Predators have won 8 of their last 10 at home. With form being so similar, it means we will get creative to find our edge.
The biggest difference between these teams is their ability to score goals. On the season, the Sabres rank 9th averaging 3.28 goals per game while the Predators rank 24th with 2.81 goals per game. Along with scoring, the Sabres have the better save percentage overall and in 5-on-5 play. The Predators also rank 27th in goals against on the season. Their scoring on the season and weak defensive play are part of the reason they are 11th in the Western Conference. These struggles may be highlighted more by the clean play of the Sabres. On the season they have the 8th fewest power play opportunities against them. Overall, I have a feeling the Sabres will get the best of this Predators team, especially after a close one with the Carolina Hurricanes yesterday. With that in mind, I am taking the Sabres on the money line.
