NHL Betting Preview: Maple Leafs vs Sabres

The Toronto Maple Leafs go up against the Buffalo Sabres at KeyBank Center, with face-off scheduled for 19:00 on Saturday, March 14.

Sabres to Dominate Leafs

The Sabres look too strong for the Maple Leafs and we think the favorites can enjoy a comfortable margin of victory. The -100 is value for them to surpass a -1.5 goal handicap on the puck line.

Toronto Maple Leafs have suffered five consecutive road losses. In their previous game, they enjoyed a 6-4 home triumph against Anaheim Ducks at Scotiabank Arena. Matthew Knies racked up 4 points, including 1 goal and 3 assists.

Buffalo Sabres lost their last game, being beaten at home to Washington Capitals 2-1 at KeyBank Center. Sabres managed 30 shots and Sam Carrick recorded the only goal.

Head-to-Head Statistics

The scoreline was 7-4 in favor of the Sabres when they last played the Leafs, with the encounter taking place at Scotiabank Arena. The past 10 games between the teams have seen the Leafs win six times.

Metrics such as Corsi, Fenwick, Expected Goals (xG) and PDO are used to evaluate puck possession, shot quality, goaltending performance and special teams efficiency beyond the traditional box score.
