Best Bets
- Buffalo Sabres Regulation Moneyline (60 min) -145
Buffalo’s underlying numbers don’t jump off the page, but if you’ve observed this team – you know – the Sabres are the real deal. No team has scored more goals this season, and Monday, they’re up against a team that, up until a few weeks ago, was the worst offensive team in hockey. The Flyers have been filling the net (4.42 goals per 60 prior to Sunday’s 6-2 loss to the Maple Leafs) but I’m willing to bet that it’s not the norm.
