Best Player Prop Bets for Bruins vs. Sabres

Jeremy Swayman OVER 26.5 Saves (-125)

The Bruins failed to deliver in the first period on Sunday, surrendering four goals in that opening frame. Goaltender Jeremy Swayman, who was not to blame for the poor start, was ultimately pulled in the third period after recording 23 saves. That outcome was particularly disappointing for anyone who wagered on the Sabres +1.5 on the puckline and Swayman to hit OVER 25.5 saves.

Swayman has played extremely well across this entire series, but the Bruins have largely squandered his strong performances. Swayman voiced his frustration to teammates after being pulled early in Game 4, which could give the Bruins a much-needed spark tonight.

Buffalo boasts an explosive offense, and their high shot volume should help Swayman surpass this save threshold tonight. The Sabres have put 130 shots on goal against Swayman in the series so far, averaging 32.5 shots per game.

Bowen Byram OVER 0.5 Points (+130)

Buffalo defenseman Bowen Byram enters tonight’s game with a three-game point streak intact. Byram has three goals and two assists in this series, and only Alex Tuch (6 points) has more points for the team this postseason.

Furthermore, he has scored in each of the past three games and notched a combined two points over his last two outings. This plus-money price offers exceptional value for bettors backing Byram to record a point in his fourth consecutive game.

David Pastrnak OVER 0.5 Goals (+190)

If the Bruins want any chance to keep their season alive, David Pastrnak must step up as a key contributor. “Pasta” is Boston’s most dangerous offensive weapon, and he leads the team in playoff points with five so far.

While he has only found the back of the net once this series (in Game 1), this creates a well-known due factor that we cannot ignore at this attractive price. Notably, Pastrnak scored a goal against the Sabres in three of four regular season matchups between the two teams.

Owen Power OVER 0.5 Assists (+215)

How impressive is this level of consistency? Owen Power has recorded at least one assist in every one of the four games in this series. He leads the Sabres in assists during this postseason run.

Power’s playmaking improved by the end of the regular season. He picked up three assists in his final two regular season games, so he carries a six-game assist streak into tonight’s Game 5.
