NHL Picks: Buffalo, Montreal Face Off in Cross-Border Battle

The NHL has two games on Tuesday night slate. The league schedule is set up for busy days on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

Tuesday night could be a wild one. Let's look at possible back-to-back scenarios focusing on the teams on front end of back to back games.

Buffalo Sabres have lost eight straight games and are 7-11-1 on the season. The expected goalie matchup is Craig Anderson vs. Jake Allen. Both goalkeepers are at .500. Montreal is 7th and the team is led by Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield. Montreal won the game against Buffalo 3-2 earlier this season, but there is an expectation of a better performance tonight.

The New York Rangers are 9-6-4 and are on a road trip. They are playing in Los Angeles tonight. Los Aleshia is 3-5-1 and they are only three games above .500. They have a bad offense and a poor goalie. The Rangers will be motivated. Igor Shesterkin and Jonathan Quick are expected to play for Los Angles.

Montreal Canadiens, New York and Los Angeles under 6.0 goals at -105.
