The Buffalo Sabres have not been a good hockey team over the past two seasons, and that is being kind. Their biggest problem has been on the offensive end, finishing last season as a team averaging less than 2 goals per contest, and through 36 games this season they are still under the 2 goals per game average. That is a pretty sizable sample size of 118 games with a team failing to average 2 goals a contest. Tampa Bay has hit a bit of an offensive slump as they have managed to score 4 goals or more in just 1 of their last 11 games, and that appears to be the magic number here. If they don't get to at least 4 in this game, they will struggle to get over the top of the total. It has been the case in this series with eight of the last nine failing to get to the total. Play the UNDER in this one.
