Montreal Canadiens
Grade B: Montreal Canadiens Moneyline (-110)

The Montreal Canadiens, currently on a three-game winning streak, host the Buffalo Sabres at the Bell Centre. The Habs have found their rhythm, with key players like Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield stepping up offensively. On the other hand, the Sabres have shown resilience despite recent challenges, with Tage Thompson leading their scoring efforts. Both teams have faced injuries this season, but Montreal's recent form and home advantage give them a slight edge. Considering the evenly matched moneyline odds of -110 for both teams, betting on the Canadiens to secure a win offers a balanced risk-reward scenario. Bet Grade: B

Grade A-: Montreal Canadiens Puckline -1.5

The Montreal Canadiens, riding a four-game winning streak, host the Buffalo Sabres, who have lost their last two games. Montreal's offense has been firing on all cylinders, averaging 3.5 goals per game during this stretch, with Cole Caufield leading the charge. In contrast, the Sabres have struggled defensively, conceding an average of 3.4 goals per game this season. Notably, the Canadiens have dominated recent matchups against Buffalo, winning both encounters this season by significant margins. Considering Montreal's current form and favorable puck line odds of +215, betting on the Canadiens to cover the -1.5 spread offers substantial value. Bet Grade: A-

Grade A- : Over 6.5 Total Goals

The Montreal Canadiens, riding a four-game winning streak, host the Buffalo Sabres at the Bell Centre. The Habs have been involved in high-scoring games recently, averaging 4.2 goals per game over their last five outings. The Sabres, despite their struggles, have also seen the over hit in seven of their last ten games. Notably, the previous two matchups between these teams this season resulted in a combined 13 and 7 goals, respectively. Given the offensive trends and the over/under set at 6.5, betting on the over presents a favorable opportunity. Bet Grade: A-
