Bruins vs Sabres Prediction
The Bruins are 2-1 in their three meetings against the Sabres this season but have lost their only visit in Buffalo by 4-1. Both teams are tied 5-5 in their last 10 overall meetings.
In this Bruins vs Sabres Prediction, the Sabres are coming as -200 home favorites. The Sabres have been unstoppable lately but are coming off a road defeat and are looking to bounce back. They are up against a Bruins team that is on its second leg of a back-to-back and are back on the road, where they have been significantly weaker this season. Boston will also have their backup goalie in net so I expect the hosts to take care of business in this one. Take the Sabres on the moneyline or in regulation to decrease the big price.
