Regis sits this one out, and here is his read
Neither team has a kill to lean on. Buffalo's sits at 69.2%, 27th, and Anaheim's at 76.2%, 21st. Buffalo's power play is 31st at 10.5%, so Anaheim's unit, 22.2% and 12th, is the best one in this matchup. Buffalo plays in San Jose and Anaheim hosts Vancouver on Tuesday, and neither game is in these numbers.
I'm not posting a ticket on this game. When I read Kalshi's full board Thursday morning, nothing met my standard for real money, so this page is your scouting report instead. I'll keep watching the goalie news with you before the 7 PM PT puck drop.
- Leo Carlsson leads Anaheim with 13 points, and Beckett Sennecke has 6 goals, 3 on the power play.
- Cutter Gauthier has 34 shots and 2 goals.
- Jack Quinn leads Buffalo with 11 points, and Tage Thompson has 45 shots after 40 goals last season.
- Buffalo's Jiri Kulich went into concussion protocol on Monday, Sam Carrick (upper body) is on injured reserve and Justin Danforth (upper body) missed Saturday's game. Anaheim placed Pavel Mintyukov (lower body) on injured reserve on Oct. 23.
- Eight of Anaheim's 11 games and seven of Buffalo's 11 have had six or more goals. The six-goal market on Kalshi was not trading on both sides yet when this page went up.
