Tampa Bay is home from a four-game trip and after this game they head out on the road for another two-game trip, so this is a tough two week stretch for them. Buffalo is in town off a bad game, but the Lightning are 9-19 when their opponent allows 5 goals or more in their previous game. Buffalo has already beaten Tampa Bay as a big dog last month, 2-1. In fact, the Sabres are 8-3 against a team with a winning record and the Sabres are 13-6 in the last 19 meetings in Tampa Bay. Play the big dog Buffalo.
