Bold Predictions for Blue Jackets vs Sabres

1. Goals, Goals, Goals

The over/under for this game is set at 6.5, but frankly, I think we could see double-digit goals in this matchup.

In the last four meetings between these teams, they combined for at least 10 goals three times. That includes a 9-4 result back in December, and overall they averaged 10.25 goals per game in that stretch.

Buffalo’s offense is on fire, while the Blue Jackets just put up six goals in a win over Edmonton. Take the over and expect fireworks.

2. Columbus Wins

The Blue Jackets match up well with the Sabres. They’ve beaten Buffalo in three of those last four games, scoring an average of six goals per game in the wins.

Buffalo is on a nice stretch, but the squad is playing with fire with a bad defense. The Sabres have surrendered 4.5 goals per game over their last four, a mark that would be the worst in the NHL over the full season.

At +168 odds, you’re getting great value on a hungry Blue Jackets team to continue taking advantage of matchup advantages.

Columbus is 3-3 in its last six games with all three wins coming as big underdogs. Trust the Blue Jackets to pick up a fourth win in five games against Buffalo.
