You can't laugh at rebuilding Buffalo anymore. They're not in last place like last year and improved in many areas, including a top five power play. Dan Bylsma is the new coach and won a Stanley Cup with this Pittsburgh team he'll be facing tonight. Zemgus Girgensons scored midway through overtime in Tuesday's 4-3 win at Philadelphia as a +170 road dog. The Sabres have won three of the last seven games, winning twice as dogs of +140 and +170. Buffalo heads to Pittsburgh on two full days of rest while the Penguins had to play Washington last night in a 3-1 road win. Sidney Crosby is off to his worst start to a season with three points in nine games. He got them all in a 3-2 overtime victory over Florida on Oct. 20 and has failed to register a point in three games. Pittsburgh is home from a two-game trip, making this a tough situational spot. When these teams clash the road team is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings. Play Buffalo.
