Buffalo at Minnesota

Young Buffalo is playing well at #12 in the NHL in goals allowed, seventh in penalty killing and sixth offensively on the power play. They've won two in a row as dogs of +125 and +145, topping Florida (3-0) and winning at Winnipeg the last game (3-1). They head to Minnesota, a team banged up with injuries. They are without defenseman Marco Scandella and left wing Zach Parise, and lost forward Zac Dalpe to a knee injury and forward Chris Stewart to illness this week. On Monday, Minnesota coach Bruce Boudreau led a practice with just 14 healthy skaters. Minnesota is 3-7 when their opponent allows two goals or less in their previous game and the road team has won four straight in this series. In their last five games, the Sabres have alowed just 2.2 goals per game while Minensota has allowed 2.1 per game this season overall. Since last season, Buffalo is 14-5 UNDER at home vs. losing teams. Play Buffalo and the UNDER.
