Buffalo vs Utah Showdown
Expect a thrilling underdog test on hostile ice tonight

Sabretooth (27-33-6) VS Jazz Bear (30-27-11)
Mar 20, 2025 | 8:00 PM ET | Utah Arena

Rasmus Dahlin leads Buffalo into Utah with determination, hoping to extend the Sabres’ brief winning st reak streak by taking advantage of key roster additions returning from minor injuries. Although Utah is holding a run of decent form, Buffalo’s intermittent success against Western Conference foes makes this +150 wager intriguing for those seeking a decent return on risk. It’s a moderate-confidence pick that balances the Sabres’ resilient mindset with their inconsistent record, earning a B grade and presenting a solid payout if they make the most of their renewed energy.
Tage Thompson is poised to ignite Buffalo’s offense in the midst of a 2 game run, especially with a returning Alex Tuch eager to shake off any rust following his recent lower-body injury. Utah, on a fine run of form, has stayed relatively healthy and continues to overcome Eastern Conference matchups with strong goaltending that still sees plenty of rubber flying its way. Historically, these teams have battled closely with higher-than-average goal counts in their interconference meetings. Betting on the Over offers a strong payout if the surging offense prevails, and while it carries moderate risk, the reward gives this wager a B+ rating for overall value potential.
Tage Thompson, an offensive spark for the Sabres (27-33-6), looks primed to deliver in the team’s current two-game winning streak. Their opponent, the Utah Hockey Club (30-27-11), has pieced together two consecutive victories, but they now face a Buffalo squad eager to redeem its recent missteps. While the Sabres remain mostly healthy, Utah contends with a lingering injury to its top-line winger, reducing their forward depth. Historically, the Sabres have fared well against teams from the Western Conference in March, hinting at a possible advantage for Buffalo. With -1.5 at -170, the grade on this puckline pick sits at a solid “B,” offering a medium payout for those willing to back Buffalo’s home-ice push.
