Live Betting
This matchup on Wednesday will feature live NHL betting at Diamond Sportsbook. The Bruins should get the bulk of the action considering they are the defending Stanley Cup champions.
Boston 16-7 on the Road
The Bruins are coming off a 4-1 win at Washington on Sunday that improved their road mark to 16-7. The Bruins have one of the top records in the NHL overall, trailing only the New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference. Even though the Bruins won the Stanley Cup last season, this year’s team is better in terms of goals and in fewest goals against. Whether that results in another title is in question but Boston should be in the hunt.
Buffalo 11-15 at Home
The Sabres are not a good team at home or on the road. Buffalo is below average in goals scored and in goals against this season. The Sabres have won three of their last four games overall but they are still 10 points out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference and probably too far behind to make any kind of run.
Series Trends
The Bruins and Sabres have split their last ten meetings. The trend that is interesting in this series is that the teams play high scoring games. In the last ten meetings, 7 games have gone over, none have gone under and their have been three pushes. At Buffalo, the teams have split their last ten games with the over being 4-0-2 in the last six meetings.
Hockey Pick
The trends point to a high scoring game on Wednesday and we agree. The Bruins have been going over on the road and we’ll look for that to happen again on Wednesday night and take the Bruins and Sabres over the total. For more NHL betting news make sure to visit the BetDSI Facebook page.
