NHL *BANKROLL BUILDER*
(NHL) New Jersey vs. Buffalo,
Money Line: -111.00 Buffalo (Home)
Result: Loss
Play: Buffalo Sabres
Rating: 8*

The Buffalo Sabres have recorded just one win home at KeyBank Center this season, but I think they'll pick up their second as they host the New Jersey Devils in the first game of a home-and-home series Friday night.

The Devils are 1-3-2 on the road this season and 1-8 in their last nine road games. Here they'll face a netminder they've struggled with in the past, Anders Nilsson who is 4-1-0 with a 1.28 GAA in previous meetings with New Jersey. Buffalo has struggled for goals all season long, but the Sabres have a talented team and could break out here against the Devils backup goaltender Keith Kinkaid. We're getting a good enough price to take a stab with the Sabres.
