Calgary Flames @ Buffalo Sabres
4* Selection: UNDER 5.5 -125
This is a matchup featuring two decent teams who have been UNDER machines as of late. The Flames are currently riding a 4 game winning streak and the main reason that they have been this successful is because they have one of the hottest goaltenders in the league. Mikka Kiprusoff has allowed only 4 goals in his last 4 contests. He stopped 114 of 118 shots (96.6%) down that stretch.
Ryan Miller, on the other hand, has been excellent for Buffalo all season long with a 1.82 G.A.A. and a 0.932 save percentage. Each team has had some difficulties offensively as of late, as they both are averaging only 2 goals per game in their last 5. The trends also tell the story in this one. UNDER is 6-0 in Calgary’s last 6 overall and 11-4 in Calgary’s last 15 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous contest. UNDER is 6-2 in Buffalo’s last 8 and 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between these opponents. Take the UNDER in what will very likely be a hard fought defensive battle.
