Sabres vs. Hurricanes prediction: Odds, NHL picks tonight

Buffalo Sabres are off to a 7-3 start and have the third-best goal differential in the NHL. They have already beaten Calgary, Edmonton and Pittsburgh. Their goalkeeping tandem of Eric Comrie and Craig Anderson is playing well. Buffalo is leading the league in shooting percentage at 13 percent. The team's play-driving numbers are decent, but they will be playing against one of the best at controlling play at five-on-five on Friday night in Raleigh.

The Hurricanes are on the second leg of a back-to-back. The team that won the first game is going to be overrated by the market.

Sabres vs. Hurricanes is a moneyline bet at Caesars Sportsbook.
