The Sabres are on an 8-6 run, also beating Minnesota (3-2), Carolina (4-1), Detroit (5-4), and Edmonton (5-1) again as underdogs. The special teams have been strong, ranked 13th on the power play and second in penalty killing. They're working on two days of rest, while Seattle is working on one. Seattle is getting outscored by 17 goals, the fourth-worst differential in the league. They're on a 1-7 run, getting outscored 32-16. They're last in penalty killing, while the offense is 31st in goals scored (2.52 per game). The wagering value is on the visitors to win by more than one goal. Play Buffalo on the puckline.
