Montreal (1st 60 min) -½ +160 vs Buffalo (1st 60 min)
Montreal Canadiens -1 +178 vs Buffalo Sabres
Montreal Canadiens -1½ +255 vs Buffalo Sabres
Montreal Canadiens/Buffalo Sabres Over 5½ -130
Note: I am a Sabres homer. Note: HSBC will be loaded with Canadian fans. More than half the building will be MTL fans.
Despite Vanek being back and the Connolly signing, I don't think it changes much. Even if Miller was back I don't think it changes much. The Sabres record against teams in the Top 8 of the conference is horrific and it has been that way all season long.
This is also BUF first game home after a road trip. A spot that was not too kind to many teams last night such as San Jose, St. Louis, and Tampa Bay.
MTL have been playing strong lately and they have a revenge angle from a bad game in BUF a couple of weeks ago. The Sabres have struggled with MTL power play in the past couple of seasons and this may be the best version yet. If MTL come to play then their speed and scrappy forwards will likely cause a lot of problems for the Sabres as they have in the past.
Very surprising that MTL are not bigger favs here but the Vanek announcement likely factors in. I say it makes little difference. BUF can't hang on.
