New Jersey at Buffalo

New Jersey has a winning road record and has won six of eight when working on three or more days of rest.

Rebuilding Buffalo is 6-12-2 at home and struggling everywhere at #31 in goals scored, #26 on the power play, #28 in goals allowed, and #23 in penalty killing. Buffalo is on a 15-40 run, including 24-54 against the Eastern Conference. And New Jersey has won 9 of the last 11 meetings, including five straight in this building. Play New Jersey.
