Buffalo Sabres vs St. Louis Blues Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/29/25

The Buffalo Sabres continue to stay hot, as they enter Monday’s contest against the St. Louis Blues riding an 8-game winning streak. Five of those wins have come on the road, and they could be in another solid position to earn another road win in this matchup in St. Louis. The Blues have been among the lowest-scoring teams in the NHL all season, averaging a measly 2.51 goals per game — which ranks dead-last in the league. They are allowing 3.36 goals per contest, which is the sixth-worst mark in the league. That’s not exactly a winning formula. Jordan Binnington is slated to be between the pipes in this one, and he owns a less-than-ideal .870 save percentage to go along with a 3.44 goals-against average. He also has just 7 wins in 21 starts and only 4 wins in 13 home starts.

The Sabres have held their opponents to 2 goals or fewer in 6 of their last 8 games including their last 4 in a row. Things are starting to click defensively, and there isn’t much to suggest that the Blues will be the team to suddenly break that trend. The Blues are coming off a 3-2 win over the Predators, but they haven’t been great at stringing wins together this season. Buffalo is the team to back in this one.
