With the Montreal Canadiens leading the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 in their Eastern Conference Second Round best-of-seven series after five games, the total games market has locked in at a minimum of six. Canadiens victories in Games 3 and 5 have given Montreal the chance to close out the series at home in Game 6 on May 16, while Buffalo’s road win in Game 4 keeps elimination pressure squarely on the Sabres. Trader consensus at 100% for over 5.5 reflects this straightforward math, as the series cannot conclude in five or fewer contests. Only a Canadiens win on Saturday would cap the series at six games, whereas a Sabres victory would force a decisive Game 7 and extend the matchup to the maximum length.
