Buffalo at Boston

The Bruins play their first home game in over two weeks when they host the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday. The Bruins finished their recent six-game road trip with a 3-3-0 record. I've been liking the way Boston has been playing as of late even without Joe Thorton. Thorton will be coming back tonight and it will really give Boston a boost. The big news with Boston is the play of Glen Murray! Murray leads the team with four goals and eight points. Boston played well against Montreal on Monday night and scored early and often. However, they were out skated in the third and ultimately lost the game. Buffalo has a league leading 37.2 SOG but Boston is not far behind with 30.7 SOG. The Bruins are 101-85-30 lifetime vs. the Sabres with a 723-701 scoring advantage in those 216 games. Look for Boston to come out strong, be pumped to be skating on home ice and pull off the win. One star on Boston over Buffalo.
