Buffalo +120 over Calgary

9:00 PM ET. The Flames return home after a four-game road trip where they went 2-2, but they’ve been sitting idle for five days. Now, they must play an Eastern Conference foe for this one off at home before heading out back on the road. The Flames have scored two or fewer goals in seven of their last 13 games, and their 5-on-5 metrics reveal a middle-of-the-pack team that can struggle to generate sustained pressure in the offensive zone.

Enter the Buffalo Sabres, a team that might not be getting much attention in the market but has all the ingredients to play spoiler here. Buffalo’s offensive firepower is well-documented, led by a young and dynamic core that can capitalize on chances. Rookie Jiri Kulich is hitting his stride at the right time, as his recent move to center has unlocked his potential. Kulich has racked up 10 points in his last 16 games and looked like a difference-maker in Buffalo’s comeback win over Vancouver on Tuesday.

Speaking of that win, Buffalo’s victory against the Canucks was emblematic of what makes this team dangerous. They were down heading into the third period, on the road, yet rallied with poise and precision to steal the game. The Sabres have been frustratingly inconsistent of late, but their ceiling is far higher than their record suggests. The price and the situation create tremendous value here and we're not passing it up.
