It’ll be all hands on deck for the Dallas Stars heading into their season finale against the Buffalo Sabres.
My Stars vs. Sabres predictions expect that to result in the road team picking up their 50th win.
Let’s take a closer look at my NHL picks for Wednesday, April 15.
Stars vs Sabres prediction
Stars vs Sabres best bet: Stars moneyline (-145)
This game carries no implications in the standings for either side, and while teams generally sit key players in these circumstances, that’s not the case with the Dallas Stars.
Head coach Glen Gulutzan noted his guys — even those routinely playing heavy minutes — want to play in the regular season finale, and they will.
This contest should serve as one last tune-up before their first-round series against the Minnesota Wild.
Meanwhile, the Buffalo Sabres are set to sit key pieces like Tage Thompson and Rasmus Dahlin, looking ahead to their first playoff game in 15 years.

Stars vs Sabres same-game parlay
Mavrik Bourque is coming off a hat trick, but he still has more assists than goals. Playing on a line with Jason Robertson, the youngster definitely has assist upside.
We’ll round out the parlay with an Under. Playing pond hockey in their finale isn’t going to get the Stars ready for the playoffs, so they should rely on their structure and sound defense to guide them in their finale.
The Sabres are sitting a healthy chunk of firepower in this game, and third-string goaltender Colten Ellis (8-4-1 with a .904 save percentage) is more than capable of handling this level.
