Bruins vs Sabres Prediction

The Sabres rent playing the better hockey at the moment and have earned points in four straight games, but the price isn’t enough to pull the trigger. The Sabres also have yet to win on the road, while four of the Bruins five wins this season have come on their home ice. I also refuse to believe the Bruins are this bad defensively. They’ll figure it out eventually. As I’ve said before over the years, the Sabres are one of those teams that will let you down once you start to believe in the hype. Pick ’em prices, give me the Bruins at home.
