Buffalo at Carolina

Buffalo has won three of four after defeating Toronto 6-4 on Saturday as Alex Tuch scored twice for the Sabres, overcoming Leafs captain Auston Matthews' hat trick. Devon Levi had 25 saves for Buffalo and is expected in net tonight. The Sabres are 5-1 their past six games as underdogs of +150 to +200, and Carolina is 1-5 versus the Atlantic Division. The Hurricanes will likely go with Antti Raanta, who is 2-3-0 with 3.40 goals-against average and .884 save percentage. The Hurricanes do come off a 4-3 overtime victory over the New York Islanders on Saturday, but they will be without starting goalie Frederik Andersen (blood clot), out indefinitely. Buffalo has won two straight on the road. Take the Sabres.
