New York has lost two straight, mustering just three goals. The offense is 22nd in goals scored, 25th on the power play, and 23rd in shooting percentage. It's also the second of a back-to-back, after losing at home to Vancouver (4-1) last night as a favorite. Buffalo is 10-5-2 at home and is working on a day of rest. The offense is 14th in goals scored, while the defense is No. 1 in penalty killing. The Sabres have won four in a row, part of a 10-6 run, so back the rested home team. Play Buffalo.
