All sports fans and bettors will shift their focus to the ice tonight, as we don’t have any football or baseball on the schedule. The NHL is slated for 10 games, with action getting underway as early as 7:00 p.m. ET. The day wraps up out west with two 10:30 p.m. ET games as the Golden Knights take on the Sharks, and the Kings host the Lightning. Here are my top three bets for tonight!

NHL Odds, Picks & Predictions for Tuesday: Sabres vs. Kraken
Buffalo Sabres vs. Seattle Kraken
The Sabres are off to a 4-1-0 start (eight points), and they’re a perfect 3-0-0 on their current four-game road trip with wins over the Oilers, Flames, and Canucks most recently. The Kraken hasn’t been as fortunate out of the gate as they’re just 2-3-2 (six points) to start the season. Tonight’s matchup is set for 10:00 p.m. ET from Seattle.
I’m slightly stunned by this line as I don’t think the Kraken should be laying juice to many teams in the NHL – especially not the Sabres. I’m not saying that I expect Buffalo to make be a top team this year, but I believe they have some young talent, and they’re on the rise. I’m going to lock them in as a slight underdog tonight.
Buffalo’s offense is on a tear to start the season, as they boast the second-best offense with 4.4 goals per game. Rasmus Dahlin leads the charge with five goals and three assists, while the hometown kid, Alex Tuch, is right behind him with six goals and one helper. What’s surprised me thus far is how well the Sabres are playing on their own end. They’re sixth in goals allowed per game (2.20), and their penalty kill is 11th at 83.33%. I don’t think Seattle has the offensive firepower to keep up in this game, and that leads me to believe the Sabres have a great chance to come away victorious tonight. Let’s ride with Buffalo on the moneyline.
