Florida has been great at home and dreadful on the road to start the 2025-26 NHL season. I expect that trend to continue in this game. Look for the Sabres to get their second win in a row as they attempt to dig their way out of an early hole in the Atlantic Division. I'll take the Sabres at plus money and I also like the idea of betting the under in what should be a relatively low-scoring game from Western New York.
