The Montreal Canadiens hit the road to take on the Buffalo Sabres tonight, in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Both squads enter this crucial matchup riding recent momentum, leaning heavily on elite goaltending and structured neutral zone play to advance this deep into the spring. Online sportsbooks are siding with Buffalo in the latest NHL odds<\/a>, but I’m more interested in betting the 6-goal total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Puck drop is scheduled for 7 pm ET at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, NY. TNT, truTV and HBO Max will provide the broadcast across America, while Sportsnet will handle Canadian TV rights.<\/p>
