Despite the high level of stress for both fanbases, there’s nothing quite like a Game 7. The Buffalo Sabres and the Montreal Canadiens have showcased their talent, but tonight, only one team will advance. As a Canadiens fan, my loyalty is clear, but ultimately, all we hope for is a competitive hockey game.

🔥 Canadiens vs Sabres Predictions: Monday, May 18th

If you were in the Discord, you already secured this play at plus-money. For some reason, Vegas anticipates a low-scoring game. We might be missing something, but Montreal has consistently been allowing the first goal, and Buffalo is facing a goaltending issue. The narrative might suggest that, with this being a do-or-die game, both teams will tighten up. Even if that happens, we could see one, if not two, empty-net goals, which would improve our chances of hitting the Over. We might not have to wait long for this bet to cash, but confidence in this game, with enough goals to succeed, is high.

Now, let's focus on our main prop play of the night. Everyone will be targeting the top players on both teams to accumulate points, but historically, it's the unsung heroes who sometimes step up in these situations. Montreal's top line has struggled to produce at five-on-five, and with Buffalo having the last change, this trend may continue tonight. However, Montreal's second line has been able to generate offense. Alex Newhook leads the team in goals, and Ivan Demidov continues to showcase his incredible skill set. In the midst of that, Jake Evans has been making his mark.

The Harvard graduate has scored goals in back-to-back games, totaling seven points over the last five games, all while receiving zero power-play minutes. He is focusing on killing penalties and winning key faceoffs, but his added offensive output cannot be overlooked. All we need from Jake tonight is for him to make it onto the scoresheet with either another goal or an assist. He has been consistently doing that throughout the series, yet you can still find his point prop as high as +180. Lock it in and move on to whatever else you have planned before the big game.
