Ottawa at Buffalo

Something has to give in this one. The Ottawa Senators are winless on the road at 0-3-1, while the Buffalo Sabres are winless at home at an identical 0-3-1 mark to start the season. The Sabres’ problem at home has been the inability to put the puck in the net as they have scored just 7 times in their four home games, or less than 2 per contest. The Senators have had their share of problems finding the net on the road, with just 8 goals in their four road games at 2 per contest. Both of these teams are hungry for a win, which usually leads to a tighter checking game, and not a lot of scoring opportunities. The Senators bounce back to play UNDER to a 12-5-2 mark after serving up 5+ in their previous game, while the Sabres are an UNDER-happy 31-15-5 when they are posted as a favorite from -110 to -150. This one stays UNDER the total.
