Buffalo at Nashville

Buffalo has lost two straight after a 2-1 defeat at Toronto last night, so this is the second of a back-to-back road spot. It's also their sixth road game over the last nine contests. The offense is 24th in goals scored (2.90 per game) and 27th in shooting percentage, while the defense is 16th in save percentage (.902). Nashville is on an 8-1 run and working on a day of rest. Nashville plays its fifth consecutive home contest and is 50-33 against teams that surrender 3+ goals per game. Nashville has won the last two meetings, 2-1 and 7-3, winning both at Buffalo, so back the rested home team. Play Nashville.
