I'm highlighting three picks in today's Sabres vs. Hurricanes prediction, including a 5-star player prop featuring Tage Thompson.  

The Hurricanes, who have won four straight at Lenovo Center, are the -192 moneyline home betting favorite. As there's not nearly enough value in that pick, I turned to the game total. Aired on TNT, the game starts at 1:30 p.m.

💰 Sabres vs. Hurricanes best bet: Over 6.5 goals (-102) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Check out all of our NHL analysis and expert predictions this season.

Buffalo enters on a seven-game Over streak, while four of Carolina's previous seven games had at least seven goals. Fourteen goals were scored in their two head-to-heads earlier in the season. 

At some point, Buffalo's torrid offensive streak will end, but I don't think it will in today's matinee. And despite their recent rise, the Sabres are among the 10 worst road defenses. 

Score prediction: Hurricanes 4, Sabres 3 


🔥 Best Sabres vs. Hurricanes prop bet: Tage Thompson Over 0.5 assists (+128) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thompson is flying into the Olympic break and enters tonight's game against the Hurricanes on a six-game assist streak, notching eight. The Sabres are scoring goals for fun at the moment, with at least four goals in six of the previous seven games. 

FanDuel's +128 odds are the cherry on top, as that is the best price at the best sports betting sites. If you're interested, I like his goal-scoring prop, too. The Sabres' top scorer netted in three straight meetings against the Hurricanes.
