San Jose at Buffalo

Two struggling teams battle in this one and the value lies with San Jose, which has won six of the past nine meetings although this is the first one this season. Aaron Dell is likely in net for the Sharks and he had 29 saves in his first appearance of the season, a 3-1 loss to Toronto on Wednesday. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is probable for the Sabres and he owns a 4.46 goals-against average and .846 save percentage. The Sharks have a better record on the road where they have won six of 13 compared to just two of 14 at home. Buffalo is 1-7 its past eight home games and 3-11 its past 14 games overall. Also, the Sabres are 15-45 their past 60 games versus a team that scored two or fewer goals its previous game. Play the Sharks.
