Result:
WIN

With the series tied 2-2, the teams return to Buffalo and that's not good news for New York. The Rangers played amazing defense in their two home games, winning both 2-1. But in Buffalo, this Sabres offense cannot be contained. Buffalo scored 5 goals in game one here and 3 in game two. They score 4.0 per game here on the season on way to a 32-14 record. New York was a very average team on the road this season. They are just one game over .500 away from home and managed an average score of just 2.8 to 2.7. Their offense continues to struggle in the postseason and we can't see them keeping up with Buffalo here. The Rangers are a terrible 4-19 on the road vs. winning teams in second-half play over the past two seasons. Buffalo si 14-2 this season when playing with two days rest and they are 25-7 the past two seasons at home revenging a loss. Don't let New York's success the past two games fool you. Buffalo, especially at home, is the much better team.
