Canadiens VS Sabres Best Bets


Moneyline/Puckline Pick: Buffalo Sabres (ML/-1.5)

Looking to build momentum after a turbulent start to their 2023-24 season, back the Sabres to crush the Canadiens at home, covering the puckline as favourites in the process.

Having won both of their games played as favourites thus far this season, the Sabres have performed accurately in the eyes of the oddsmakers. Possessing a high-octane offence as well as mobile skaters on the blue line, the Sabres play at a breakneck tempo and can easily overpower their opposition when they get rolling.

Facing a Canadiens squad that is incredibly weak defensively, expect to see the Sabres enter the attacking zone and generate dangerous scoring chances throughout the contest, dominating time on attack, and commanding the pace of the contest.

Bank on the Sabres to cover the puckline against the Habs, knabbing yourself a sizeable payday as you enjoy tonight’s lone NHL matchup.

Over/Under Pick: Over 6.5 Goals

Don’t expect to see any resemblance of defence from either side in tonight’s fray as the Canadiens VS Sabres results in Over 6.5 goals scored.

With both teams putting emphasis on the offensive side of the puck, we’ve seen both sides get taken to task when their opponents bring the puck into their end. With the Canadiens and Sabres both allowing Over three-goals per game early on into the new season, expect to see both sides flurish offensively in tonight’s back-and-forth contest.

Hammer the Over on the Canadiens VS Sabres and watch as these two young and exciting squads square off and light the lamp repeatedly as they combine for Over 6.5 total goals this evening.

Canadiens VS Sabres Best Player Prop Bets


Cole Caufield Over 3.5 Shots on Goal (-115)

Primed to lead the charge offensively for his team, look for Canadiens standout forward Cole Caufield to register Over 3.5 shots on goal against the Sabres.

Having taken five shots on goal in three-straight games, Caufield has been an active member of the Habs offence. Possessing a cannon of a shot, the 22-year-old prospect has dazzled hockey fans with his goal-scoring ability.

Back Caufield to continue establishing himself as a dangerous scoring threat in the NHL, blasting Over 3.5 shots on goal against the Sabres, and netting you an easy win with this player prop bet.

Tage Thompson Anytime Goal Scorer (+100)

Hot off the heels of a stellar 2022-23 campaign, the Sabres may have found their next building block for the future in Tage Thompson. Coming off of a 47-goal season last year, look for Thompson to begin picking up steam in tonight’s contest, finding the back of the net as he scores a goal against the Canadiens.

Having only buried the biscuit once thus far through five games played, Thompson is still a premier scorer in the NHL. Possessing a big frame and terrific athleticism, Thompson excels at flying by defenders en route towards the goal.

Facing a Canadiens squad that has had no answer for opposing teams offence, look for Thompson to thrive this evening as he beats the netminder, earning himself his second goal of the season, and landing you a plus money payout with this anytime goal scorer bet.
