Buffalo Sabres vs Montréal Canadiens NHL Predictions
Montréal Canadiens
Montreal's defense has been suffocating at home, but Buffalo's road record and superior depth give them the edge in Game 1 of this playoff series. The Sabres went 24-13-4 away from home this season, outscoring opponents by 47 goals overall, while the Canadiens were just 24-15-2 at the Bell Centre. With Noah Ostlund out, Buffalo's bottom six takes a minor hit, but the model still gives them a 58% win probability. At near-even money, the Sabres offer clear value.
