Toronto Maple Leafs vs Buffalo Sabres Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 10/24/25

The Toronto Maple Leafs will visit the Buffalo Sabres on Friday night in what is a battle between 2 teams that have had rather slow starts to the season. One thing that has been working for the Leafs is their offense. Heading into action on Thursday night, they are ranked sixth in the league by averaging 3.43 goals per game. It has been their very poor defensive play that has been holding them back. They are averaging 3.57 goals against per contest. These 2 teams met twice last season, and 2 of those 3 games went over the total. In those 3 meetings, a total of 21 goals were scored for an average of 7 per game. These teams consistently fill the net against one another. We have yet to see sniper Auston Matthews really break out; he has 4 goals on the season, 2 of which were scored on the empty net. He has 21 goals and 33 points in 29 games against the Sabres in his career, so look for him to find his offensive game against them on Friday.

The Sabres have been finding their offensive stride a little bit over their last4 games, as they have averaged 4.25 goals per game over that stretch. I think we are in for a high-scoring night in Buffalo. I’m backing the over with confidence.
