Buffalo hasn't had much going right, with only one victory, plus they're 0-2-1 on the road. This is the third game of a three-game trip, and they've lost the first two at Pittsburgh and Columbus, allowing six goals in both games. The offense is 21st in scoring, while the defense is 26th in goals allowed (4.00 per game) and 25th in save percentage (.874). Chicago has won its only home contest, a 4-2 victory over San Jose in the last game. They opened the season with four straight road games, losing in OT at Winnipeg, 2-1, as a +220 dog along with a 5-2 victory at Edmonton as a +290 underdog. The defense is 12th in the NHL in goals allowed and 10th in save percentage (.918). Play Chicago.
