Buffalo at Calgary

img9:00 PM Eastern

Buffalo opened its six-game road trip with losses to the Flyers, 5-2, and to the Jets, 4-1, in their last game three days ago. The Jets' score is misleading as the Sabres finished with a 19-8 lead in high-danger chances. Calgary, on the other hand, has been riding the hot goaltending of Dustin Wolf, winning its last two games, blanking Utah, 2-0, two days ago, and beating a flat Minnesota team, 4-1, this past Thursday. The Flames don't produce enough goals to be trusted. This is a buy-low spot on Buffalo and a sell-high spot on Calgary. The Flames are averaging 1.7 goals per game in their last four games. They rank last in scoring in the NHL at just 2.3 goals a game. The Sabres average 2.9 goals per game and have a special-teams edge, ranking second in the league in penalty-killing. Calgary is 30th on the power play. Take the Sabres.
