Boston at Buffalo

Boston is getting it done on defense, ninth in the NHL in goals allowed, eighth in penalty killing. The Bruins have lost center David Krejci (upper body) for a while, a terrific playmaker. Boston is 19-7-7 UNDER the total when playing its fourth game in six days, as well as an 8-3 run UNDER the total against the Eastern Conference. They face a last-place Buffalo squad with no offense, #31 in goals scored, #30 on the power play. Their strength is goalie Robin Lehner, who owns a .924 save percentage this month. Buffalo is on a 10-2 run UNDER the total at home, plus 12-3-1 UNDER against the Eastern Conference, so don't look for an offensive show. This one stays UNDER.
