Buffalo Sabres vs. Golden Knights Prediction and Odds – Game 14
The Buffalo Sabres will face a daunting task with one of the league’s best teams, the Vegas Golden Knights, coming to the Queen City.
The Buffalo Sabres enter a showdown with the Vegas Golden Knights riding a three-game losing streak in what should be a measuring stick matchup. They have an opportunity to rise up and slice their way through sheer adversity in this one, especially since Vegas happens to be one of the NHL’s best teams.
So how will the Sabres fare in this contest? Let’s check out the odds and draw up a prediction to measure Buffalo’s chances to pull off a stunner against the league’s elite.
Buffalo Sabres vs. Golden Knights – Odds
Per Fan Duel, the Buffalo Sabres are +1.5 underdogs to the Golden Knights. The Over/Under sits at 6.5, and the Sabres moneyline is +136. The moneyline for Vegas is -164.
Buffalo Sabres vs. Golden Knights – Prediction
The Sabres, despite their three-game skid and the Knights dominance so far this season, are facing a major sense of urgency here. They know this, and it could carry them to sneak up on and stun the Knights in what is surely a trap game for Vegas.
The Knights are also due to lose, given their eight-game winning streak and 9-1-0 record over their last 10 contests. That, plus the Sabres additional motivation as they are playing Jack Eichel with what should be a somewhat packed house behind their back could work wonders, so this will be a closer game than many anticipate.

Overall, the win will go to Vegas, 5-4, but not before the Sabres force an OT period, allowing Buffalo to escape the pivotal matchup with a point. Then, it’s on to Boston for a showdown with the Eastern Conference’s best team.
