Buffalo at Detroit

Buffalo is a dog but a young team playing hard, and are one game below .500 overall and on the road. Buffalo has been good on the power play this season, ranking fourth in the NHL at 22.3 percent. The Sabres are solid defensively, too, at #11 in the NHL in goals allowed. Detroit has a losing home record, and is 3-11 against the Atlantic Division. The Red Wings are 0-for-26 on the power play over their the last six games and 1-for-37 in 11 contests this month. Detroit is #29 in goals scored, last on the power play and #19 in goals allowed. Home ice has mattered little wen these teams clash, with the road team winning four of the last five, so grab the visiting dog again and play Buffalo.
