Young Buffalo has been competitive, but this is a terrible situational spot. Buffalo plays its eighth road game in the last 12 contests, and the Sabres are 16-49 vs. a team with a winning record. Buffalo is #25 in the NHL in goals scored and is dealing with a lot of injuries. The Sabres are on a 37-85 run on the road, plus 55-112 against the Eastern Conference. Boston has played well despite a tough schedule, winning three in a row at Detroit, Florida, and Tampa Bay before losing at home to the New York Rangers the last game, 5-2. The Bruins are 8-3 after scoring two goals or less in their previous game and have taken seven of the last nine meetings with Buffalo. Play Boston.
