This market will resolve to “Over” if more than 5.5 games are played during the 2026 NHL Playoffs Second Round series between the Buffalo Sabres and Montreal Canadiens. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “Under”. If a partial series is played and not completed by May 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve according to the number of games played. If the 2026 NHL Playoffs are cancelled, postponed after May 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or there is otherwise no winner declared within that timeframe, this market will resolve to 50-50. The resolution source for this market will be official information from the NHL; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Buffalo Sabres and Montreal Canadiens head into their Eastern Conference second-round Stanley Cup Playoffs series evenly matched after both endured lengthy first rounds—Sabres defeating Bruins in six games for their first advancement since 2007, Canadiens surviving Lightning in seven via a Game 7 win on May 3. Regular-season split 2-2 saw 13 goals per team across four high-scoring tilts averaging 6.5 goals per game, but playoff defensive emphasis and Sabres injuries to forwards Sam Carrick and Noah Ostlund could tighten contests. Sabres enjoy home-ice for Games 1-2 starting May 6 with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in net, while Canadiens carry fatigue from minimal rest; this rare playoff renewal since 1998 underscores potential for a prolonged series testing depth, goaltending, and power-play efficiency.
