NHL Betting OnlineTuesday – Sabres at Bruins on Versus. A great battle of goaltenders takes place in Tuesday NHL betting online as the Buffalo Sabres visit the Boston Bruins in a game you can see on the Versus television network.
Ryan Miller is healthy now and playing great for Buffalo while Tim Thomas has been a standout for Boston. It could be a low scoring game in NHL betting on Tuesday night at Sbgglobal.
Miller Stopping Everything
Miller is coming off back-to-back shutouts over the weekend, allowing the Sabres to win two straight games for the first time since mid-November. He stopped all 19 shots on Friday when the Sabres won 5-0 over Columbus and he stopped all 32 shots in regulation and overtime and then stopped three shots in the shootout in a 1-0 win over Ottawa on Saturday. Miller has not allowed a goal since the second period of a 3-1 loss to Montreal on November 27th. Miller is 6-2 in his last eight starts and Buffalo is now looking like a team that can make a playoff run as the season progresses. Early in the season when Miller was out or still dealing with his injury the Sabres really struggled but not now. Buffalo will get a huge test this week against Boston, San Jose and Pittsburgh.
Bruins Playing Superb Defense
The best defensive team in the NHL is the Boston Bruins. They are allowing just 1.88 goals per game which is the best in the NHL by a lot. Boston has Tim Thomas in goal and he has been excellent all season. Boston slipped on Saturday night defensively but Thomas still made 40 saves and got them a point in a shootout loss against Toronto. Thomas is leading the league in save percentage (.956) and goals-against average (1.46). He has played in 18 of the club’s 25 games.
