Pro Picks
Buffalo vs. New Jersey
Buffalo's offense failed to get going in the opener, losing 4-1 to New Jersey. The Sabres had a 2-to-1 end on the power play but went 0-for-4. New Jersey's new goaltender, Jacob Markstrom, made 30 saves. They traded a 2025 first-round pick and Kevin Bahl to the Calgary Flames for Markstrom after finishing 27th in save percentage last season. He was the 2021-22 Vezina Trophy runner-up. The Sabres were 23rd in goals scored and shooting percentage last year and don't look that much better. Another defensive game is likely with these teams playing in Europe. Take Buffalo/New Jersey UNDER the total.
