Buffalo Sabres vs New York Rangers Prediction
The New York Rangers continue to rack up wins and are a team hard to step in front of, especially at home against lesser teams. The Buffalo Sabres can’t string together success and their defense isn’t trustworthy. The Sabres have also been rough on the road this season and have lost 7 of the last 10 games against the Rangers. There’s only one way for me to go in this spot. Give me the Rangers and the PL for max betting value.
