Chicago at Buffalo

The Chicago Blackhawks are the reigning NHL Stanley Cup winners, but they are out of the gate slow and still looking for their first win on the young season. This team does not resemble the one that won it all a year ago as salary cap issues have led to a roster overhaul. This team, while not being as good, is also going to need to build some team chemistry. The value against their perception off of last year and the reality early on, provides line value against them. It is early, but the Sabres own a huge 38-13 mark playing at home vs. a road team winning less than 40% of their games. I'll back the reality of the Blackhawks over the perception, and go with Buffalo in this one.
