(NHL) Detroit vs. Buffalo,
Money Line: -110.00 Detroit (Away)
Result: Win
Play: Detroit Red Wings
Rating: 8*

The Detroit Red Wings visit the Buffalo Sabres Wednesday night, and I like the price we get on the visitors. Success against the Sabres has come easy for Detroit in recent seasons, and the team is 7-1 in the last 8 meetings in Buffalo. We can also note that the Wings are a solid 18-6 in their last 24 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400.

The Red Wings have dropped four on the bounce, but they've had plenty of time to mull over a 3-2 loss against Calgary on Sunday, and I think their desperation for a win here will show. The Sabres had lost six straight prior to back-to-back wins against Pittsburgh and Calgary. Buffalo has big troubles scoring, and Red Wings netminder Jimmy Howard takes a 7-0-1 mark and 1.52 GAA versus Buffalo into this game.
