Buffalo at Columbus

Buffalo defeated San Jose 6-3 on Sunday for its fourth win in seven games as Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen had 26 saves for the Sabres in his first time starting consecutive games this season. Luukkonen (probable tonight) is sharing time with Craig Anderson, who is 5-4-0 with a 2.87 goals-against average and .916 save percentage. Columbus has lost five of its past six games, including 4-1 to Pittsburgh on Tuesday night and now the Blue Jackets are in a back-to-back spot, which means Joonas Korpisalo will likely be in net tonight after Elvis Merzlikins played and gave up four goals against the Penguins last night. This is the first meeting this season and the Blue Jackets are 6-20 against a team that scored at least five goals its previous game and Columbus is 7-17 playing with no rest. Take the Sabres as a Max Play.
