The Sabres have nothing to play for as they're already eliminated but they've still covered the spread in 7 of their last 10 games. The Maple Leafs are on fire right now winning 8 of their last 10 games and scoring 4.8 goals per game in their last 10 games. Toronto haven't been profitable ATS at home this season so I think the play here is the over. the over has cashed in 6 of the last 7 games for the Maple Leafs and in 3 if the last 5 games for the Sabres.
