Buffalo won 3-2 in overtime over the Islanders on Friday as Rasmus Ristolainen scored the winner 42 seconds into OT and Robin Lehner made 33 saves for the Sabres. Carolina lost a 4-3 shootout to Washington with Cam Ward making 23 saves for the Hurricanes. Carolina has alternated wins and losses its last six games, including a come-from-behind 8-6 thriller over Vancouver on Tuesday. Carolina is 7-1 over its last eight home games and has won four of its last five when playing on no rest. The Sabres are 38-90 their last 128 road games dating back several seasons and 19-55 when playing on no rest.  Ward has a 2.36 GAA and .914 save percentage. Anders Nilsson is expected in goal for the Sabres. Look for Carolina to bounce back from Friday's loss, so play the Hurricanes.
