Buffalo at Carolina

Carolina tied up the series with an impressive 4-0 victory on Friday and now look to take the lead at home. Behind the great offensive production from Eric Staal, they should get it. Especially without the defense of Henrik Tallinder whom Buffalo lost in game three. As a home favorite of -200 or less this season, Carolina is 23-8. They are also 21-5 off a win of 2+ goals. They are playing great defense this postseason holding opponents to 2.5 per game. Over their last five games, Carolina is holding opponents to 2.2 while Buffalo is allowing 3.0. Again, without Tallinder, things look even worse for Buffalo. Home team palying better defense here...
