Sabres vs. Blackhawks Best Bets
Tuesday, December 17, 2023 - 8:30PM ET
PICK: Buffalo Sabres Team Total Over 3.5 (-120)
The slumping Buffalo Sabres head to the Windy City to take on the Chicago Blackhawks tonight at the United Center.
Buffalo is off a 4-1 home loss to the Florida Panthers yesterday and are losers of 4 of their last 5 games.
They have an opportunity to right the ship tonight as they get a Chicago team that is at the bottom of the NHL with a league low 26 points in the season. Chicago is off an 8-5 home loss to the Kraken on Saturday night.
At home this season, the Hawks are allowing 3.9 goals per game, which is 4th most, and 32 shots per game, which is 9th most.
Chicago also has allowed the 3rd most high danger scoring chances at home this season. They have allowed at least 4 goals in 13 of their 25 home games this season.
The Buffalo Sabres offense, though inconsistent lately, has been humming all season. The Sabres average 3.8 goals per game on the road this season, which is 5th best in the league.
They have scored at least 4 goals in 11 of their 19 road games. Buffalo currently sits 6 points out of a playoff spot and they have to string together some wins, especially against weaker competition like Chicago.
Buffalo should have no problem getting to 4 goals here tonight, so bet Buffalo Sabres Team Total Over 3.5 (-120) with BetMGM.
