Buffalo at Washington

Might look like suicide backing the Sabres against a Washington team that is 9-1 at home. However, the Sabres don't exactly look shabby on the road with their 5-3-2 mark. Buffalo has to be a confident group right now as the last five played they have been right there with everyone with all five ending in a shootout or in overtime. The Sabres have won four of those five. One of those four victims were this same Washington Capitals team, so the Sabres won't be intimidated here.  They are also on a 7-1 run vs the Southeast. The Sabres have certainly taken their share against Washington as they are 17-8 in the last 25 meetings. I like Buffalo in this one.
