Calgary Flames vs. Buffalo Sabres NHL Betting Odds & Prediction 11/18/21

November 17th, 2021 By: Bob Dabo

The 2021-22 NHL season continues with a loaded Thursday card, bringing 11 games to the bettors, including the interconference showdown at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, so here’s the best Flames vs. Sabres betting pick.

Calgary meets Buffalo for the first time in nearly two years, and the Flames have won four of their previous five encounters with the Sabres. According to Bally Bet Sportsbook, the Flames are firm -175 moneyline favorites to win this duel, while the totals are listed at 5.5 goals.

The Flames lost two of their last three games in overtime 

The Calgary Flames (8-3-5) returned to the losing ways last Tuesday, suffering a 2-1 overtime defeat at the Philadelphia Flyers. After a 2-1 overtime loss at Toronto and a 4-0 road victory over the short-handed Ottawa Senators, the Flames failed to cope with the Flyers’ offense, surrendering a whopping 43 shots towards Jacob Markstrom.

The 31-year-old netminder is now 5-3-4 on the season, boasting a 1.82 GAA and a .938 save percentage. Markstrom has already recorded four shutouts, while the Flames are yielding only 2.13 goals per game (2nd in the NHL). Jakob is expected to get another starting call Thursday at KeyBank Center.

On the other side of the ice, the Flames are scoring 3.06 goals per game (13th) on an 8.8 shooting percentage (20th). They are 11-for-49 with the man advantage, enough for the tenth-best power-play percentage in the NHL.

The Sabres hope to stay on the winning path   

The Buffalo Sabres (7-6-2) are coming off a 2-1 road victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins this past Tuesday. It was their second win in the last three outings along with a 5-4 home loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs last weekend.

The Sabres took only 19 shots towards Pittsburgh’s goalie and surrendered 46 in a return, while Dustin Tokarski had a tremendous night between the pipes with 45 saves. Tokarski is now 3-3-2 with a 2.71 GAA and a .920 save percentage on the season, while Craig Anderson, who’s expected to return from an injury and start between the pipes Tuesday, is 4-2-0 with a 2.50 GAA and a .921 save percentage.

The Sabres are yielding 2.93 goals per game (18th in the NHL), and their goalies own the 13th-best save percentage in the league (.911). On the other side of the ice, Buffalo is scoring 2.93 goals in a return (tied-15th) on a 10.3 shooting percentage (tied-9th).

Trends:

Calgary:

  • 4-1 in the last five games against Buffalo
  • 10-3 in the last 13 games against the Eastern Conference

Buffalo:

  • 2-6 in the last eight games overall
  • 2-5 in the last seven outings as underdogs 

Calgary Flames vs. Buffalo Sabres Pick

Calgary and Buffalo both have struggled a lot lately. The Flames have lost six of their last eight games overall, as well as their next rivals, so something’s got to give in this one. I’m backing the visitors to win straight up because they are a better defensive team, while Jacob Markstrom is enjoying a wonderful season.

The Flames have been pretty successful in their last 13 contests against the Eastern Conference, going 10-3 in the process. On the other side, the Sabres are 5-10 in their previous 15 meetings with the Western Conference.

Pick: Take Calgary Flames at -175         

The Total:

The Flames have been one of the best defensive teams in the league so far this term. Their penalty-killing percentage is the fifth-best in the NHL (87.3%), while the Sabres rank 18th, allowing eight goals on 43 power-play opportunities.

Neither team has impressed with the man advantage, so I don’t expect to see a high-scoring affair. Four of Calgary’s last five games produced fewer than six goals in total, while the over is 5-2 in Buffalo’s previous seven outings.

Pick: Go under 5.5 goals at -105
