Buffalo has won six of 10, going 5-2 as a favorite. The Sabres were a solid second-half value team last year, and they're picking up where they left off. Tampa got the better of them on Saturday, but Buffalo is on a 21-8 (72%) run off a loss and this is a good matchup. Anaheim is 29th in the NHL in scoring (2.50 per game) and 29th in shooting percentage, while the defense is 26th in goals given up (3.48 per game) and 22nd in save percentage. The Ducks are on a 2-10 slide. They're 10-39 at home against teams averaging 2.85+ goals, 7-28 home versus teams that allow 3+ goals per contest, and 10-35 off a home loss. And Buffalo has won the last two meetings easily, 7-3 and 6-3. Play Buffalo.
