NHL Odds: Sabres vs. Lightning prediction, odds, and pick

Buffalo Sabres are playing for the momentum going into the next season. The Sabres will take on the back-to-back defending Stanley Cup Champions, the Tampa Bay Lightning. Tampa is on a four-game losing streak and is currently in the first wild card position in East.

Buffalo Sabres are on a two-game losing streak. They have been a sneaky team to beat recently. Craig Anderson will start in goal for the Sabres tonight. He has a .901 save percentage and allows 3.06 goals against per game.

Tampa Bay Lightning are in a bad patch and are currently in the wild card position. Andrei Vasilevskiy is expected to start in goal for the Lightning tonight. He is currently sporting a .917 save percentage and allowing 2.45 goals against per game.

Sabres are the favourites to beat the Lightning. The Lightning have lost four games in a row. Sabres are a team that plays physical and scores goals. The total over goals is too high for my liking, but I'm going to take that over anyway.

Sabres vs. Lightning is a final game. The final score is 6.5-0.
