New York at Buffalo

Yes, this is a huge line. But well deserved. If you are looking for a sweep in this first round, this is the series to which to look. The Sabres have won seven of the last eight vs. New York including three of four this year. They won all three by 2 goals as the games weren't even close. Buffalo captured their first ever President's Trophy this season and finished with 113 points. They have four players with 30+ goals. They made it deep into the playoffs last season and this could be their year. Buffalo pours in the points at home and New York's road defense is terrible. Buffalo should coast here and get the win.
