Drew Doughty Points Prediction: Under 0.5 vs Sabres | NHL Prop Pick (March 21)
Drew Doughty's points prop is a clear Under play on tonight's NHL slate. The Los Angeles Kings defenseman takes on the Buffalo Sabres on March 21, and our model projects Doughty to fall short of the 0.5-point line. Here's why we're backing the Under at -285 odds.
Drew Doughty Stats & Recent Form
Doughty has been a shell of his former self this season, averaging just 0.34 points per game over his last 10 contests. The veteran defenseman is struggling to generate offensive chances, with only 2 assists in his last five games. At 36 years old, Doughty's production has dropped significantly compared to earlier in his career, and he's been increasingly shelved in lower-leverage situations. His ice time has dipped to under 20 minutes per night recently, further limiting his scoring opportunities.
Matchup Analysis: Los Angeles Kings vs Buffalo Sabres
The Sabres present a solid defensive matchup with a league-average penalty kill and solid gap control. Buffalo hasn't been particularly vulnerable to opposing defenseman scoring, ranking middle-of-the-pack in points allowed to the blue line. With the Kings likely to play a conservative, defensive-first approach in Buffalo, Doughty figures to see even more limited offensive deployment. The game total sits at a modest level, suggesting a lower-scoring affair where a 36-year-old depth defenseman won't factor heavily into the scoring column.
Our Doughty Points Prop Pick for March 21
Under 0.5 Points (-285) is the play here. Doughty is averaging well below this line, his ice time is declining, and the Sabres matchup offers little opportunity for offensive production. At -285 odds, the market is already pricing in his inability to reach even a single point. We're taking the Under with confidence.
