Today’s Best NHL Bets: Sabres vs. Stars

Let’s look at a few of our best NHL bets for Monday’s slate of action.

Buffalo Sabres (+146) vs. Dallas Stars (-176) | O/U 6.5 (-118/-104)

The Sabres are one of the best offenses in the league and come in tied with the most points scored per game. They have four forwards with at least 40 points, but it’s been Defenseman Rasmus Dahlin who’s led them recently with 14 points in the previous 11 games. It would be better if they got any contributions from their goaltenders.

When you look at the Stars, you see a well-balanced team. The team is nine in Goals For Above Expected, but their key has been the goaltending. Jake Oettinger has been one of the stellar goaltenders in the league, and unlike Sabres, he gives them breathing room if the offense is struggling.

Sabres are one of the teams that excel on special teams with the four-best power play percentage. The Sabres will have trouble taking advantage of that, with the Stars being one of the top teams in the penalty kill. Dallas has enough firepower to keep up with Buffalo and the defense to push them to a win.

Pick: Sabres 60 Min ML (-113)
