New York Rangers have some young players they will be looking to improve but will also be hoping for a good year from Blake Wheeler who they added in the offseason.

Buffalo missed the playoffs by 1 point last season and will be looking to break the longest playoff drought in the NHL and tied for the longest drought in pro sports. But during this time the Sabres have had the chance to draft high year after year. Buffalo is a team that will continue to improve as their young stars continue to develop.

Buffalo won 2 of the 3 meetings between the teams last season. The last 4 meetings between the teams went to overtime. This could be a close game that goes to overtime but I like the home dog in this one.

Pick: Buffalo Sabres ML
