The Sabres have been terrific but they're visiting Vegas at the right time. The Golden Knights have won consecutive games, outscoring Pittsburgh and Chicago by a combined score of 10-2.
Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy commented: "We're not chasing the game nearly as much. It's a lot easier to play that way."
Vegas goalie Adin Hill, off his first shutout in a year, added: "I feel like our game is trending in the right direction. So we just have to keep building it and get ready for the playoffs, keep stacking wins."
Playing with revenge from a loss at Buffalo earlier this month, look for the Knights to "keep stacking wins" for another day.

McAvoy has been one of the most consistent point producers from the blue line, registering a point in 18 of his last 20 games. That level of consistency is elite for a defenseman and shows how involved he is in Boston’s offensive flow, whether it’s at even strength or quarterbacking the power play.
He’s also coming off a three-point performance against Montreal, continuing his strong form. On the season, he’s hitting this prop in roughly 70% of games, which makes this price playable given his current role and usage. With heavy minutes and consistent involvement in scoring chances, McAvoy remains a reliable option to find the scoresheet.

Boston is coming off a 4-3 overtime loss to the Devils last night, while the Canadiens haven’t played since their 4-3 loss to the Ducks on Sunday. Those scheduling dynamics are significant because NHL favorites of less than -200 are 1583-986 (61.6%; +3.9% ROI) versus unrested opponents, including 537-305 (63.8%; +7.8% ROI) since the beginning of the 2020-21 season. Even better, .501 or greater rested favorites are 1074-539 (66.6%; +4.2% ROI) versus unrested opponents, including 408-174 (70.1%; +6.3% ROI) since the beginning of the 2020-21 season. Montreal is playing its third consecutive home game, and NHL home favorites of -155 or greater are 488-224 (68.5%; +1% ROI) following a home game in March affairs, including 212-78 (73.1%; +5.4% ROI) since the beginning of the 2019-20 season. Boston arrives in Montreal to play its third game in four days and, since 2003, NHL road teams playing their third game in four days are 1463-1948 (42.9%; -4.7% ROI). Finally, unrested NHL teams from Game 45 forward are 224-298 (42.9%; -13.3% ROI) versus Atlantic Division opponents since 2014, including 82-136 (37.6%; -22.4% ROI) since the beginning of the 2021-22 season. Take the Montreal Canadiens as Jeff Keim’s Free Pick Winner for Tuesday, March 17.

Minnesota Wild ML | Good until -190.
Off three losses in a row, Minnesota is badly in need of a win. The Wild had to have been happy about yesterday's results, seeing Colorado & Dallas lose their games. Now, it's time for the Wild to do their job. They've been great on the road this season with a 19-9-4 record and go into a place where they've won back to back games. Once again this season, Chicago, on the other hand, is not in the playoff mix again this year. While the Blackhawks have some young pieces to build around, they’re still inconsistent, especially in goal. This is a game where the Wild should take care of business, and I'm on them, even if it means laying some juice.

23 Buffalo at Las Vegas
The Sabres now sit just two points behind the Hurricanes for first place in the eastern conference, with a game in hand. It’s been an incredible turnaround for a team that hasn’t been to the playoffs since before Carmine Bianco lost his hair. Buffalo is on an amazing 17-2-1 run when taking to the road. This contest opens up a four game west coast trip through Vegas, San Jose, Los Angeles and Anaheim. Four games in six days. A very tough road indeed. Buffalo has something the Golden Knights don’t have, the third best goalie tandem in the league. These two teams played exactly two weeks ago, where we backed the Sabres in a 3-2 home victory. Buffalo took an early lead in that game, then had to fight off Vegas to survive.
Both teams have had the last two days off, which is very much needed at this time of the year. Adin Hill has gotten the call in goal as of late, and he has been up to the task. Allowing just four total goals in the last three games. The Golden Knight offense seems to be finally breaking through, with ten goals scored the last two games. The passing has been much cleaner as Mark Stone has returned to the lineup. This club is just so much better on the ice with the captain suited up.
Buffalo has scored three goals or more in seven straight road games. Vegas has struggled all season against young fast teams. Let’s take a strong look at the Sabres team total over 2 1/2.

NHL Moneyline Expert Picks Free of Charge
Certainly the most common and popular type of NHL bet is simply taking the moneyline. In other words, you simply select the winner of any NHL game. If your pick wins, you win your bet. Simplicity embodied.
Free Over/Under & Totals NHL Picks
Similar to soccer, where the over/under is almost always 2.5, and occasionally 3.5, NHL games rarely deviate from an over/under of 5.5. goals. This makes over/under picking pretty straightforward. It you see an expert NHL pick from Wagertalk that has crunched the stats and sees a goal explosion imminent, no doubt that pick will select the over. Conversely, a defensive matchup in the making makes it likely that the expert NHL pick will be on the under.
Winning an NHL over/under bet is easy. You just choose whether or not the teams combined will score more than 5.5. goals or fewer than 5.5 goals. If you are correct, you win your bet.
Free Expert Puck Line Predictions
An exciting NHL bet is picking the puck line. This is really just betting against the spread, but hockey gets a cooler name: THE PUCK LINE. Sounds great, does it not? For more information on betting the puck line, visit our puck line explanation article. In short, though, you are simply getting better odds than you would on a moneyline bet, because sportsbook allow you to choose from multiple puck lines, you can bet on a larger puck line for a greater return.
WagerTalk expert puck line picks are completely free and a common pick type you will see here.
