Sabres vs. Maple Leafs Prediction and Pick
The OVER has been a big trend for both teams as of late, and there's no reason to not keep that going.
The Maple Leafs goaltending has been a big problem for them as of late. They're 24th in save percentage over their last 25 games, one spot worse than the Sabres who come in at 23rd in that stat during that span.
On the bright side, the Leafs are second in shooting percentage and ninth in expected goals per 60 minutes over that stretch. Bad goaltending and high-scoring offense is an OVER bettors dream, so it's best not to overthink it.
