Two teams entering this matchup on winning streaks are set to collide tonight, with the Dallas Stars playing host to the Buffalo Sabres.
Buffalo Sabres (+146) vs. Dallas Stars (-176) Total: 6.5 (O-118, U-104)
Both the Sabres and Stars have won two games in a row and also posted identical 5-4-1 records over their past ten games. Dallas has certainly found itself in a much better position, with them sitting atop the Central division, while the Sabres are trying to get back into the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference.
Even though the Sabres haven’t fully made the jump to being a playoff team just yet, there’s a lot to like about the direction the franchise is headed in, and they should continue improving with such a young core.
