There are 28 teams suited up in the NHL on Saturday for what should be a remarkably entertaining 14-game slate for fans. The action begins with a 12:30PM ET puck drop in Detroit between the Sabres and Red Wings, then goes all throughout the afternoon, evening, and night. This will be a day where you truly want to get any chores or obligations out of the way so that you can soak in every second possible of this excellent NHL slate.
Let’s get into my 3-leg NHL parlay for today’s action, and you can also find out our experts’ NHL predictions for tonight’s big matchups.
Sabres win (-110)
The Sabres and Red Wings have trended in very opposite directions for the last couple of weeks. Buffalo is 8-1-3 in their last 12 games. Opponents they beat during that stretch include the Hurricanes, Lightning, Golden Knights, Oilers, Red Wings, and Islanders.
Meanwhile, the Red Wings are winless in their last 7 games with a -24 goal differential during that span. That is an average loss by 3.43 goals in 7 straight games. Their loss to the Sabres during that span was by a final of 7-3 in favor of Buffalo. Until or unless they cool down, the Sabres are the hot hand.
