Buffalo has a losing road record and a weak offense at #26 in goals scored. It's the second of a back-to-back road spot, off a 4-2 defeat at Tampa Bay last night. The Sabres are 62-129 against the Eastern Conference, plus 19-57 when playing on no rest. Carolina is rested, not having played since Tuesday in a 5-3 win over Columbus. They are on a 12-2 run at home, and Carolina plays its third straight home game after beating Boston (4-3) and Columbus. Play Carolina.
