Over 5.5 Has to Be The Way Forward

The Sabres and the Islanders should be able to light the lamp several times over and that leads us to back Over 5.5. The -120 looks too good to miss for this selection.

4-3 Victory for Islanders in Pair’s Last Battle

Buffalo Sabres have won their previous three road outings. In their most recent game, they were turned over 4-3 (OT) at home to Vancouver Canucks at KeyBank Center. Bowen Byram, Alex Tuch and Dylan Cozens scored one goal apiece.

New York Islanders have suffered defeat in their last three games. Most recently, a 5-4 (OT) scoreline occurred on the road at Capital One Arena against Washington Capitals. Simon Holmstroem scored twice, with Anders Lee and Kyle Maclean netting one goal.

It was a 4-3 win for the Islanders at KeyBank Center when they last played the Sabres. The past 10 H2H games have seen the Sabres land six wins.
