Florida is on an 11-7 run after a 3-2 win at Ottawa as an underdog. They've won five in a row as a dog or even-money, including road wins at Carolina (5-2) at +115, at Tampa Bay (5-2) at even-money, and at Dallas (4-0) at +115. The defense is fifth in penalty killing. Buffalo has won 13 out of 14 to go from last place in the Eastern Conference to a playoff position. Will the real Sabres please stand up? Buffalo's offense still ranks 22nd on the power play, while the defense ranks 19th in goals allowed (3.12 per game). This franchise hasn't been to the postseason in 14 years, the longest drought in NHL history. This will be a good test against the defending champs to see if they've turned a corner, but Florida is on a 7-2 run against Buffalo, outscoring the Sabres 26-17. Play Florida.
