Carolina seems to be letting up before the Olympic break. They have dropped two straight including an inexcusable loss to Pittsburgh the other night as a -480 favorite. In contrast, Buffalo comes in on fire having won eight of their last night games. They are 11-5 this season as a road dog of +100 to +200 and in matchups between two good teams (60% to 70%), road underdogs of +100 to +200 revenging a loss of 2 goals or more are 24-10 (71%) over the last 5 seasons. Buffalo is scoring 3.1 per game on the road this year and holding opponents to 2.2 over their last five games. Carolina can score with the best of them but their defense has been lackadaisical all season and worse as we approach the break. One star on Buffalo.
