Tampa Bay at Buffalo

Tampa Bay was 18-22-1 on the road last year. They play their third straight road game after losing the first two of the new campaign, 6-4 at Detroit as a favorite and 5-2 at Ottawa. The Lightning is dealing with a lot of injuries, including star Steven Stamkos (LBI), who might not play. They're 5-10 when playing their third game in four nights, plus 10-15 after a road loss. While Tampa Bay is on the road working on one day of rest, Buffalo is home on two days of rest. The Sabres are 30-26 when playing just their second game in five days and Buffalo has won the last two versus Tampa Bay, 5-3 and 6-5, as underdogs of +140 and +180. Play Buffalo.
