Sabres vs. Devils Picks
Money Line Pick for Sabres vs. Devils
- New Jersey Devils ML (4 Units)
The Devils have the edge here because they’re playing well offensively and scored nine goals in their last three home games. They’ve also played well on special teams, converting over 20 percent of their power play opportunities. The Sabres are great at killing penalties, but they’re not playing well defensively, giving up 13 goals in their last four road games. They’re also playing on consecutive nights and will be dealing with fatigue, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Devils. Take New Jersey on the money line.
Over/Under Pick for Sabres vs. Devils
- Under (4 Units)
The Sabres average 3.06 goals per game. They averaged 3.66 goals per game in their last three games and converted 20.2 percent of their power play chances. They are facing a team that is 28th in penalty kills and gave up four total goals in their last three games. The Devils average 2.80 goals per game. They averaged 1.66 goals per game in their last three games, and they’re converting 20.9 percent of their power play chances.
