Vegas at Buffalo

Vegas has lost three in a row, all at home, scoring a total of five goals. Center Jonathan Marchessault (15 goals) is banged up, day-to-day with a lower-body injury. Now they travel a long way to Buffalo, a team with a weak offense that is #19 in the NHL in goals scored, #26 in shots on goal. But the defense is strong, #14 in goals surrendered, Top 10 in shots on goal allowed. Buffalo is 16-8 UNDER the total when playing its third game in five days and this shapes up as a defensive battle. Play the UNDER.
