The UNDER is the clear value at 6.5. Bruins' 5v5 xGA/60 sits at a league-best 2.1, buttressed by their .924 team SV% over the last 10 games. Sabres' offense, while decent at 2.9 GF/G, struggles to generate high-danger opportunities against elite defensive structures. Market implied probability on the Over is misaligned with recent defensive analytics. Expect a tighter, lower-event affair. 80% NO — invalid if either team's starting goaltender is pulled before the 1st period completes.
