The Edge
Buffalo's elite road ATS profile, superior goal-scoring, and underdog ML value at +120 provide a soft lean, but Shesterkin and the Rangers' recent 7-3 ATS surge keep this from being a strong play.
Key Factors
Buffalo's overall win% of .654 vs New York's .481 represents a meaningful team quality gap across a full season sample
Sabres are 25-14 (.641) ATS on the road — one of the strongest road ATS marks in the league — while Rangers are a poor 18-22 (.450) ATS at home
Buffalo scores 3.40 goals/game vs New York's 2.90, a 0.5 goal/game offensive edge that aligns with the +0.55 goal differential advantage cited
Buffalo's ATS as underdog on the road is a remarkable 28-11 (.718), and at +120 ML they are the underdog here — a historically profitable spot for this team
