New York has lost two straight, mustering just three goals. The offense is 22nd in goals scored, 25th on the power play, and 23rd in shooting percentage. It's also the second of a back-to-back, after losing at home to Vancouver (4-1) last night as a favorite. Buffalo is 10-5-2 at home and is working on a day of rest. The offense is 14th in goals scored, while the defense is No. 1 in penalty killing. The Sabres have won four in a row, part of a 10-6 run, so back the rested home team. Play Buffalo.

Buffalo at New York

December 23, 2024

7:30 PM Eastern

A pair of struggling offensive teams meet. Buffalo's offense is 22nd in goals scored and 30th on the power play. New York's offense is 26th in goals scored and last on the power play. They're a better defensive team, allowing 3.09 goals per game and ranked 15th in save percentage (.901). These teams met last month in a 3-0 New York win, and this game will be more defensive than offensive. Take Buffalo/New York UNDER the total.
