The Edge
Boston at +145 offers underdog value given the goaltending quality gap and recent form, but Buffalo's dominant home record and ATS momentum keep this a LEAN rather than a full PICK.
Key Factors
Boston's team SV% is 91.9% (#8 in NHL) vs Buffalo's 85.0% (#31) — a 6.9-point gap that is the largest goaltending quality disparity in the dataset
Swayman (0.908 SV%, 2.71 GAA, 31-18) and Luukkonen (0.910 SV%, 2.52 GAA) are close individually, but Boston's team-level goaltending depth is dramatically superior
Boston ML at +145 means only a ~40.8% implied win probability — underdog value is meaningful if true win probability is closer to 45-48%
Boston is on a W2 streak and went 6-4 ATS last 10, while Buffalo's last 5 includes three losses and a 0-4 shutout loss to Toronto
