Canes Stand Out as a Value Bet

The Hurricanes are available at -141 when it comes to the 3-Way Moneyline. Our prediction is that the home team will beat the Sabres in 60 minutes and there’s value available when it comes to these odds.

Sabres Claimed 4-2 Win in Previous H2H

Buffalo Sabres have lost their previous three road games. Their latest appearance was a 3-2 home triumph at KeyBank Center against Anaheim Ducks. Dylan Cozens landed 3 points, all of them were assists.

Carolina Hurricanes have been defeated in back-to-back games. On the road at Bell Centre, Montreal Canadiens recently beat them 4-0. Canes won the shots on goal, 20 to 18.

The Sabres are bidding for a third successive win against the Canes. They previously won 3-2 (SO) and 4-2 at KeyBank Center. The Canes have won six of the previous 10 H2H meetings.
