Top Teams to Target

Buffalo Sabres – Buffalo at home is a scoring machine. They lead the league in goals and shooting % and Tage Thompson is on an incredible scoring streak. Minnesota is middle of the pack in just about every stat and their goaltending is very suspect. Best of all, the Sabres never coast to a finish. Even if they are up 4 goals they try to make it 8 goals.

Toronto Maple Leafs – Detroit is on the second half of a back-to-back, on the road, with a backup goalie. It’s not a long trip, but this feels like a game Toronto should dominate.

Favorite Lines

BUF Mini Stack: Thompson – Skinner – Dahlin
TOR 1: Bunting – Matthews – Nylander
TOR 2: Jarnkrok – Tavares – Marner

Value Lines

STL 2: Saad – Schenn – Barbashev
