Analysis

There is no head-to-head record between Buffalo Sabres and Dallas Stars in our data feed, so past meetings play no part in this call. In our results records, Buffalo Sabres won 2 and lost 1 of their last 3 completed matches. In our results records, Dallas Stars won 1 and lost 2 of their last 3 completed matches.

The call is Dallas Stars to win, overtime and shootout included, at 51% confidence: the market's margin-free 52.7% for Dallas Stars, moved down 2.0 points by recent results; while our results records are thin, the move is limited to 3 points. Line-ups, injuries and the starting goaltenders are not available, so late team news is the main risk to this pick.
