Buffalo vs Ottawa
Senators Flex Their Firepower as Buffalo Battles Back

Sabretooth (31-36-6) VS Spartacat (39-28-6)
Apr 1, 2025 | 6:00 PM ET | Canadian Tire Centre

Tim Stützle’s recent hot streak, confirmed on active rosters, has fueled the Ottawa Senators’ three-game winning run, and they will look to exploit a Buffalo Sabres squad stumbling through two straight losses. The Sabres are still missing key defensive presence Rasmus Dahlin, creating gaps that Ottawa’s offense can punish, especially on home ice where the Senators have historically thrived in this division rivalry. While Buffalo’s +170 line offers higher returns, Ottawa’s momentum and advantage over their banged-up opponent justify the -205 moneyline, earning this wager a solid B+ for both likelihood and moderate profit potential. Odds and availability are subject to change.
Buffalo Sabres are itching to snap their current two-game skid and will look to turn the tide against an Ottawa squad riding a three-game win streak. With the Senators’ top scorers, including Brady Tkachuk, still active but Drake Batherson uncertain due to injury, both benches could see some shuffling in forward lines. Historically, these clubs have traded plenty of goals in recent encounters within the Eastern Conference, hinting at a potential scoring frenzy. Expect a flurry of goals in this clash. Odds and availability are subject to change.
Ottawa’s Tim Stützle has fueled the Senators’ recent two-game winning streak, showcasing impressive offensive production that contrasts sharply with the Sabres’ three consecutive losses and a notable absence of Alex Tuch in Buffalo's lineup. Historically, Ottawa has enjoyed success against Eastern Conference rivals, and their edge is evident in head-to-head matchups where they’ve taken five of the last seven meetings. With a more consistent scoring punch and renewed confidence after improving to 39-28-6, the Senators appear poised to cover the puckline, making this a respectable B+ wager with enticing value. Sens sharpen their swords for another victory run! Odds and availability are subject to change.
