Don't look for any offense in this one! The Buffalo offense is terrible at #29 in the NHL in goals scored, and they are 3,000 miles from home. They come off a 3-1 win at San Jose last night, part of a stretch allowing six total goals the last four contests. Buffalo is 7-1-3 UNDER the total against the Western Conference, plus 33-16-13 UNDER after allowing two goals or less in their previous game. Buffalo has allowed one goal or none in five of its last six, and got 24 saves Friday from Chad Johnson. They face a Los Angeles defense that is tops in the NHL in goals allowed, off a 2-1 win over Edmonton, part of a 6-0 run UNDER the total. Star goalie Jonathan Quick has a 1.49 goals-against average over his last six starts. The Kings are 72-35-23 UNDER the total against the Eastern Conference and 25-12-15 UNDER after a victory. Los Angeles hasn't scored more than two goals in any of the last seven meetings with Buffalo, and neither team has scored more than two goals in each of the last five meetings. Play the UNDER int his one.
