In this Stars vs Sabres Prediction, the Sabres are coming as -115 home favorites. Both teams have secured their position in the playoffs so this game has no meaning for either and it’s the final regular season game. Both teams have been in excellent form lately, having won their last five and four games respectively, but I trust more the Sabres at home, as they have conceded just one goal in their last two games, while the Stars have been average on the road lately, with a 2-3 record in their last 5 on the road. Take the Sabres on the moneyline in this one.
