The Stanley Cup Playoffs continue today with two more contests. I've got you covered from a sports betting angle, as I've narrowed in on a duo of best bets from the continuously shrinking postseason betting board. Here are my top NHL picks and bets for Sunday, May 10th’s game Sabres vs. Canadiens.
Sunday's Best NHL Picks & Bets: Sabres vs. Canadiens
Last: 1-1| Postseason: 8-6 | Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook
Buffalo Sabres (+102) vs. Montreal Canadiens (-122) | O/U 5.5 (-130/+110)
So far, the first two games of this series have gone OVER this number. However, I think the tide is about to turn on the scoring between these teams. In fact, Montreal is 6-3 to the Under in these Stanley Cup Playoffs, with two of those Overs coming in the past two. However, the Habs are 3-0 to the Under on Bell Centre’s home ice with those games averaging 3.66 total goals.
Montreal goalie Jakub Dobes has allowed just six goals while making 64 saves (.914) at home in these playoffs. In the other crease, the Sabres will roll out Alex Lyon. The 33-year-old Minnesotan has been stellar away from KeyBank Center, going 3-0 in these playoffs and allowing just three goals while stopping 72 pucks (.960) in the process.
Suffice it to say, goals should be a premium tonight, so let’s take the premium plus-money return.
Pick: Under 5.5 Total Goals (+110)
