Bruins vs. Sabres Prediction & Odds: NHL Picks Today (March 25)
The Boston Bruins are in desperation mode as they face the Buffalo Sabres at KeyBank Center (7:30 p.m. ET, TNT) for tonight's Atlantic Division clash.
I'm backing Boston to get off to a fast start in my Bruins vs. Sabres prediction, thanks to their desire to make up for the dire events that took place at home against the Toronto Maple Leafs last night. As part of my NHL best bets, I'm featuring a Morgan Geekie prop, with the team's top goal-scorer showing he can also effectively set up teammates. The Sabres are the -205 betting favorite.

💰 Bruins vs. Sabres prediction & best bet
Bruins to open scoring in 1st period (+155)
I'm expecting the Bruins to capitalize on one of the few advantages of playing on consecutive nights, getting off to a quick and relentless start.
The fact that the Bruins stunk up their own barn on Tuesday should help, as the 3-1 defeat to the lowly Toronto Maple Leafs should make the collective angrier and more determined than a bear that has just come out of hibernation.
The Sabres may take some time to get up to speed, considering it's their first game back at KeyBank Center since finishing a four-game Western trip.
Score prediction: Bruins 4, Sabres 2 (+4000 via FanDuel, 0.1u -> 4u)
🔥 Best Bruins vs. Sabres player prop bet
Morgan Geekie Over 0.5 assists (+205)
By no means is Geekie known for being an elite setup man. However, the combination of his recent hot streak and the ridiculously appealing odds has me backing him to notch a helper.
Geekie has five assist in the last three games, the most in that sample size all season. While I have no doubt his scorching streak will end soon, I'm banking on it extending for at least one more contest.
Of the best sports betting sites, bet365 offers the best price. I'd play this bet to +180.
📊 Live Bruins vs. Sabres odds
The Bruins' odds opened at +150 but have since lengthened to between +165 and +175 because of their stinker at home against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday.
The Sabres, meanwhile, enjoyed a successful Western road trip, taking seven of eight points.
🚀 Bruins vs. Sabres same-game parlay
If the Bruins start like gangbusters, I expect them to hold on to the lead and finish the game with an empty-net goal to win 4-2.
The Sabres haven't endured any dips in what seems like forever. That has to change at some point, right? And what better night than against a desperate Bruins team in the first game back after a cross-continent road trip?
Logically, I'm also backing Geekie to extend his assist streak.

💡 How I'm betting Bruins vs. Sabres
Follow all of our NHL analysis and expert predictions this season.
While I believe the Bruins will show the character and resilience they have all season by rebounding after a putrid display, I'm not confident enough to back them on the moneyline.
That's why I turned to the visitors, expecting them to take early advantage of a Sabres team in a letdown spot.
The Sabres have been Under masters lately, and the Bruins will prioritize keeping things tight, especially as it's their second game in a back-to-back. The Geekie bet is a result of his hot streak and increased confidence dishing the biscuit.
