Best Bets for 🏒 NHL Playoffs Round 2 on Friday, May 8, 2026

Two NHL playoff games are on the board tonight, both on national TV. The Canadiens-Sabres Game 2 is the top betting draw: a tight second-round series between two historically popular franchises with elite scoring, shaky goaltending, and real elimination stakes ahead.

Montreal Canadiens at Buffalo Sabres

Canadiens 48-24-10 (lost Round 1 vs Tampa 4-3); Sabres 50-23-9 (won Round 1 vs Boston 4-2). Buffalo leads series 1-0.

7:00 PM ET·TNT, truTV, Max

Buffalo took a commanding Game 1 win at home and enters Game 2 with rest, depth, and Alex Lyon playing some of the best goaltending of any netminder still alive in the playoffs. Montreal controlled play in Game 1 despite the loss — Jakub Dobes is running a .975 SV% over his last 79 shots — but Cole Caufield has just 1 goal and a -4 rating in seven playoff games, a cold stretch that cannot continue if Montreal wants to stay alive.

The Over is backed by hard data: these teams have hit 6 or more goals in nine straight head-to-head meetings dating back to November 2024, and neither finished in the NHL top 10 in goals against during the regular season. Buffalo's power play was a disaster against Boston (1-for-24), which hands Montreal's PP unit — running at 19.2% in these playoffs — a clear path to influencing the game.

Injuries

NHL Playoffs Round 2 Best Bets

Montreal Canadiens ML +112

Montreal has covered the moneyline in 11 of their last 15 road games. They controlled play in Game 1 despite the result, and Dobes is arguably the hottest goalie in the postseason right now.

Over 5.5 -124

Nine straight head-to-head matchups have gone over 6 goals. Both teams rank bottom-half of the league defensively and neither goalie has sustainable save percentages at this pace.

Cole Caufield anytime goal scorer +145

Caufield scored 51 goals in the regular season and leads Montreal in playoff xG. A bounce-back performance in a must-not-lose Game 2 road situation is overdue at plus money. shots per appearance. His line has no credible matchup on a depleted Philly roster.
