Maple Leafs vs. Sabres Prediction and Odds: Toronto Will Capture Third Straight Win

After a slow start to their season, the Toronto Maple Leafs are beginning to look like the dominant team that we expected them to play like this year. They've won seven of their last eight games, and are one a two game win streak heading into tonight's Hockey Night in Canada matchup with the Buffalo Sabres.

The Sabres are trending in the opposite direction. After getting off to a hot start to their season, they lost six straight games before barely nudging out the Oilers on Friday night. This game will serve as the second half of a back-to-back for both teams.

Maple Leafs vs. Sabres Prediction and Pick

Despite Buffalo getting off to a respectable 6-5-2 start relative to where people thought they'd be this season, this underlying statistics aren't a promising sign for what's to come. They rank 30th in high danger scoring chances for and 24th in high danger scoring chances against.

That's not a good sign when you're a team like the Sabres, who don't have the talent to put the puck in the net without being given amble offensive opportunities. Their goaltending has also been an issue, as they rank 19th in save percentage.

The Maple Leafs, offensively at least, rank at the top of almost every major stat. Now that their shooting woes seem to be mostly behind them, expect them to steamroll the basement dwellers of the NHL.

Pick: Maple Leafs -1.5 (+135)
