A split of 33 points puts this game in roughly the top quarter of NHL games. It tells you the bigger bettors see this game differently from the crowd. It doesn't tell you they're right: across the last two seasons, simply following the money on NHL moneylines lost about the bookmaker's margin.

Through the day on game days, from publicly reported sportsbook handle on a sub-hourly cadence, until puck drop. The page shows the latest snapshot each time it loads.
The Buffalo Sabres have 43% of the moneyline dollars against 76% of the tickets, a 33-point difference. A gap that size means the larger bets are not landing in the same proportions as the ticket count.
Bet percentage counts tickets: every wager counts once. Money percentage counts dollars, so one $1,000 bet outweighs a hundred $10 ones. Reading the two together shows whether the bigger bettors agree with the crowd.
At the latest snapshot, the Buffalo Sabres have 76% of the moneyline bets and 43% of the money. The table above has both teams on the moneyline, puck line and total.
No. They reflect publicly reported sportsbook handle, aggregated, rather than a single book's customers. Individual books can differ, especially early in the day when few bets are in.
Every ticket counts once in the bet percentage, but in the money percentage a $1,000 bet counts a hundred times more than a $10 one. When the two disagree, the bigger bets are landing somewhere other than the crowd. In the NHL that is common: last season the typical closing moneyline gap was about 11 points, and one game in four cleared 22. On its own, following the money has not beaten NHL prices.
