Edmonton Oilers - Buffalo Sabres - NHL

Wager: $132. We turn again our focus to the NHL: Edmonton Oilers and Buffalo Sabres will meet face to face tonight:  The game will start at 7 p.m. ET, at KeyBank Center, and will be aired only on RSW. Oilers recorded 2-1 shootout loss to Minnesota Wild on Sunday. They are on a 3-game road trip from today, thus, it is important for them to win tonight, and I believe they are up to do it. Center C. McDavid leads the NHL in scoring with 34 points (11 goals, 23 assists). Oilers are 18th in "Goals Against", and 4th in "Penalty Kill %".  The Sabres recorded a 3-2 overtime loss to the Washington Cap. on Monday.  Buffalo are 7th in "Goals Against" and 28th in "Penalty Kill %".  After 2 consecutive losses, the Sabres start today a 4-game homestand. The official, basic Las Vegas game line for O/U is (5.5 Goals). With that said, I pick the "Alternative Total 2-Way" option @ BET365:  Under 6.5 Goals 1.40 (-250).  Click here to learn the difference between the Decimal  & American odds systems.

UPDATE December 07, 2016 - FINAL Result: Edmonton Oilers  3-4  Buffalo Sabres. R. Ristolainen scored a power-play goal 57 seconds into overtime to give the Buffalo Sabres a 4-3 win against the Edmonton Oilers at KeyBank Center on Tuesday. Edmonton was a much better team, as I expected, until the last minute of the game, as they had 37 shots vs. only 26 for Buffalo. Oilers could not capitalize on their advantage and lost the game. The difference in the match was the block shots, which really earned the Sabres a win - they had 13 block shots vs. only 7 for the Oilers. Ristolainen had an assist when Sabres forward Evander Kane tied the game 3-3 with 29 seconds left in the 3rd period and goalie A. Nilsson pulled for an extra attacker. This goal cost us the "Over", and we lost the bet. I call it a bad luck last night. Things happen from time to time. You always have to look the overall record. The Sabres (10-10-6) ended a 2-game skid. The Oilers (14-10-4) have lost 2 straight. Our overall NHL record of FREE Picks, since November 17, 2016, is still great 10-2: 83% winners.
