Understanding Public and Money
Think of 'Public' as the percentage of people betting on each side and 'Money' as how much money is being bet. When there's a big difference between the 'Public' and 'Money' data, it usually means that the more serious bettors (referred to as 'Sharp Money') are favoring a particular side.

Matt's Analysis:
Ottawa has everything to play for and Buffalo nothing. Sabres No. 1 goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen was arguably the NHL's worst in net in March with a 4.11 GAA, so I'm fine if it's him or No. 2 James Reimer. This really isn't a game the Sens can lose and deserve to make the postseason. And it almost surely will be No. 1 Linus Ullmark because No. 2 Anton Forsberg started last time out (and lost). Ullmark was 9-2-1 in March with a .902 SV.
