Prediction
Sabres 5, Wild 3
Moneyline (ML)
The SABRES(-129) are dealing with regression as they struggle following a hot start. Their penalty kill is the worst in the league and Minnesota will be able to take advantage.
It will be a wild and crazy contest but Buffalo should be able to pull this game out late.
A $10 bet with Buffalo results in a $7.75 profit with a Sabres’ win.
Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The Sabres are 11-9 against the spread while Minnesota is just 8-11. That is enough to pick BUFFALO(-1.5, +200) as a slight lean.
Placing a $10 wager here could result in a $20 profit if Buffalo wins by two or more goals.
(Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER 5.5 (-134) is a safe play Tuesday night. That number makes for a more palatable bet as the two teams could easily combine for seven or eight goals.
Placing a $10 bet here will give a bettor a solid $7.46 profit with a total of six or more goals scored.
