Buffalo at New York

The Rangers are not playing good hockey as they have been losers in three of their last four games overall. It has been even worse at home where they are 1-4 in their last five, including 0-2 on this home stand. The Sabres really took it on the chin at home early in the season, dropping a 6-3 decision to the Rangers, so I expect they come in ready to play tonight. The Sabres finally have some confidence off their first time posting consecutive wins on the season. The Sabres are at their best feasting on teams with a sub -.400 home winning percentage as they have been 24-9-1 in their last 34 when facing teams in this situation. The Rangers aren’t stopping the bleeding after allowing 5 or more goals in their previous game, following with an 8-18 mark. Buffalo gets the call.
