(NHL) Buffalo vs. Washington,
Money Line: 113.00 Washington (Home)
Result: Win
T.M. Selection: Capitals (10* BLOWOUT BEST OF THE BEST).

Washington comes in having lost two straight, the first game in OT to the Pens and then in a shootout to Pittsburgh. In the most recent loss to the Pens Tom Wilson scored twice and Lars Eller and Evgeny Kuznetsov also found the back of the net. Washington will be without a few key pieces due to COVID protocol, including Alexander Ovechkin, and that's the reason why this price has swung so dramatically. The Sabres play with "double revenge" after losing the first two games of this season at home to the Capitals, but they're just 1-3 and in no position to take advantage here. Despite Washington being down those key players, it's still the better team here in my opinion. Often in cases like this where main players go down, the rest of the team will step up in that first game and that's going to be the case here in my opinion. Also note that Washington is still 15-6 in its last 21 vs. a team with a winning percentage below .400. Look for the home side to dig deep and find a way to get the job done!

T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Washington.
