Buffalo at Chicago

It has been a long and discouraging season for both Chicago and Buffalo as neither will be competing in the postseason. The Sabres made some headway, but have slipped back in their last two contests losing both, the latter to open this road trip. The Blackhawks are fresh off a three-game road swing that saw them coming away with two wins, so they should have a bit of an emotional edge coming home. The Blackhawks have dominated this series having gone 23-11 in the last 34 meetings. Those numbers are better at home where they are 14-4 in the last 18. I like Chicago in this one.
