Flames vs Sabres Pick
Money Line Pick For Flames vs Sabres
- Sabres (-165) (4 units)
The Flames look to pull off the upset but the Sabres have back-to-back wins and I see them taking over this game from the first period. The Sabres should create plenty of scoring chances against the Flames, who allow 3.00 goals per game, with Alex Tuch, Tage Thompson, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone while creating open shots with quick passes. The Sabres should limit the Flames' offense with Bowen Byram, Mattias Samuelsson, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Ukko-Pekka Lukkonnen to make plenty of big saves. The Sabres should win the game with a strong performance on their home ice.
Take the Sabre money line as home Favorites.
Over/Under Pick For Flames vs Sabres
- Under 6.5 (5 Units)
The Flames and Sabres offenses have been awful this season, and I see this game being a low-scoring one from the opening puck drop. The Flames should limit the Sabres' offense, which averages only 2.89 goals per game, with Kevin Bahl, Rasmus Andersson, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Devin Cooley to make plenty of big saves. The Sabres should eliminate a Flames offense that averages only 2.10 goals per game, with Bowen Byram, Mattias Samuelsson, and the rest of the defensive unit forcing turnovers in the neutral zone and defensive zone while goaltender Ukko-Pekka Lukkonnen blanks the shots on the net. The Under should cover in a low-scoring game with both defenses stepping up.
Take the Under on 6.5 goals.
The Flames face the Sabres with both teams looking to improve on rough seasons.
