Toronto goalie Jonas Gustavsson made 28 saves in the Maple Leafs’ 3-0 loss to the Sabres on Monday night. Buffalo cashed as -115 road favorites, while the teams played under the 6-goal total listed by sportsbooks.
And the Canadiens lost 4-3 to the Washington Capitals in a shootout at the Bell Centre Saturday. Washington won as a -147 road favorite while the final score played over the 5.5-goal total.
