This is a difficult situational spot for Buffalo, a long way from home and playing its seventh road game over the last 10 contests. The last-place Sabres are #28 in goals scored, #23 on the power play and #27 in goals allowed. Buffalo is on a 10-25 run going back to last season, as well as 48-115 on the road. Arizona is also rebuilding, and home from a five-game trek. That included a win two games ago at Philadelphia, 4-3, as a +165 dog. They are getting good production out of center Max Domi (eight assists) and rookie Clayton Keller captured the NHL's first Rookie of the Month honors. He leads all rookies in goals (nine) and points (15). Buffalo comes off a 3-2 defeat at home to San Jose and the Sabres are 65-143 after scoring two or fewer goals in their previous game, making this a great spot for the home team. Play Arizona.
