Los Angeles Kings at Buffalo Sabres Pick
My last offering pushed and I’m 2–4–4 vs. the number with this seasons NHL selections for -$416.00, onto this evening’s selection.
The Los Angeles Kings, fresh off an overtime win last night at Pittsburgh, are in Buffalo tonight in a 7:00 ET start vs. the Sabres. This is a tale of two teams heading in opposite directions as the Kings have won 6 in a row and 8 out of their last 11 contests while the Sabres are on a run of 3–9 in their last 12 games.
Bet Pinnacle – LA Kings -0.5 +116 vs Buffalo Sabres +0.5 -128
In limited starts this season, Jonas Enroth gets the start tonight for the Kings. Enroth is 3–1 in four starts with a GAA of 1.17 and save percentage of 96.2%. He’s allowed 4 goals in three starts away from home and his save percentage is 96.0%.
Buffalo turns to Linus Ullmark tonight. In his last start, Monday at Vancouver, Ullmark allowed 5 goals on 31 shots as the Sabres lost 5–2. Ullmark has lost six consecutive games and is 2–5 in 7 starts at home with a poor save percentage of 89.8%.
