Ottawa at Buffalo

The teams have split the first two meetings this season and Ottawa won the latest one 5-1 on Dec. 31 as Anton Forsberg stopped 45 of 46 shots for the Senators and he's expected in net tonight. Ottawa has won five of the past eight meetings and it will attempt to snap a four-game skid that happened on a rough western swing capped by a 6-3 loss at Calgary on Tuesday. Buffalo has lost six of 10, including 5-2 to Seattle on Tuesday when the Kraken broke it open with three third-period goals. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is probable for the Sabres and he is 8-8-2 with a 3.01 goals-against average and he has allowed 12 goals his past four starts and that includes a 9-4 loss to Columbus when he gave up five of the goals. Take the Senators - Max Play.
