A pair of weak offensive teams clash here. Buffalo is #20 in goals scored and #16 on the power play, while the defense is playing better allowing 10 goals the last three games. The Sabres are 43-22 UNDER the total on the road off a victory by two or more goals over a division rival. Goalie Carter Hutton has a 1.35 goals-against average and .960 save percentage in five appearances against the punchless Rangers. The New York Rangers are home following a 2-2-0 road trip that concluded Thursday with a 3-2 shootout victory in Anaheim. The offense is #28 in goals scored and #20 on the power play. The Rangers are on a 5-1 run UNDER the total at home, and goalie Henrik Lundqvist has a 2.35 goals-against average in 36 games against the Sabres. With the UNDER 4-1-1 when these teams clash, including a 3-1 game earlier this season, don't look for much offense again. Play the UNDER.
