For Sunday at Bell Centre in Montreal, the picks back Nick Suzuki for an assist, Cole Caufield for a point and goal, and Noah Dobson for over 1.5 shots.
Montreal is favoured at -125 after splitting the first two road games and outscoring Buffalo at five-on-five, while the analysis expects positive shooting regression for Caufield and Suzuki's line.
The report cites Suzuki's 11 assists in his last 12 home games and notes Caufield has one goal from 18 chances over eight games, framing Game 3 as a key chance for Montreal.
