Moneyline Pick: Buffalo Sabres I’m taking Buffalo. The Sabres are playing the second game of a back-to-back, and that’s not ideal. But Chicago has four wins in 18 games and has been allowing 4.2 goals a night. That’s hard to overlook.

Back Sabres to Overcome Hawks We think that the Sabres should get the better of the Blackhawks in regulation time. Therefore, it’s all about going to the 3-Way Moneyline to back them and there’s juice in the -100 available.
