10* Senators (ASSASSIN)

Buffalo has sure been great of late, but after six straight wins, inclding a 4-3 OT victory at league-leading Boston just last night, I finally expect a predictable letdown here. Right after New Year's Eve as well. Fatigue is a major issue here for the overachieving Sabres. The Senators are off a 3-2 loss here to surging Detroit, but they're no pushovers this season. They're 9-8-1 at home despite the loss last night. This one favors the home side, who would have gotten a much better nights sleep with no travel; great overall line value here, as Ottawa takes full advantage in my opinion!
