Boston is getting healthier and comes home from a three-game trip, picking up a win Minnesota, 3-2, as a +120 dog. They get to face a bad Buffalo team that has lost two in a row by a combined 10-2 count. Buffalo ranks 30th in goals scored, 26th in goals allowed, and 30th on the power play. The Sabres are 11-40 in their last 51 road games. Buffalo played last night and lost 5-1 at home to Colorado while Boston is working on a day of rest. The Sabres are without Tyler Myers, who departed Saturday with a lower-body injury. Patrick Kaleta left with an illness and won't travel to Boston while Matt Moulson is also sick and missed Saturday's game. The Bruins are 40-17 in their last 57 home games. The Bruins opened the season series with two victories in Buffalo, and they've gone 5-1-1 with 3.71 goals per game versus the Sabres since the beginning of last season. The Sabres are 4-10 in the last 14 meetings in Boston, so grab home ice. Play Boston.
