Morgan Geekie and the Bruins are road underdogs in Buffalo.

The Buffalo Sabres returned to the Stanley Cup Playoffs with a bang in their Game 1 win over the Boston Bruins.

The Sabres finally broke through Jeremy Swayman with four goals in less than seven minutes in the third period, including an empty netter, for the 4-3 comeback victory.

The Bruins are looking to avoid falling into a 2-0 hole after holding a 2-0 lead in the third period of Game 1.

Here are the odds, starting goalies, how to watch, and predictions for Bruins vs. Sabres in Game 2 on Monday, April 20.

Goalscorers are streaky, and Morgan Geekie is hot right now. After going goalless for a month (17 games), Geekie had a hat trick in Carolina on April 7. He scored in two of the next three games to end the regular season.

Bruins vs. Sabres Prediction and Pick

I’m going with the zig-zag theory in Game 2 and taking a veteran Bruins team to bounce back in Buffalo.

Boston closed at +138 in Game 1, and we’re now getting +142 in Game 2. History shows that teams are more profitable when coming off a loss, especially on the road, per VSIN.

The Bruins have been leaning on Swayman all season long, and he’s proven to be a strong playoff goalie in years past. If Boston was able to get a few clears in the third period of Game 1, the B’s win that game, so I’ll back them as road underdogs tonight.
