The Buffalo Sabres are a solid 11-3-3 overall and 5-3 as underdogs home at Keybank Stadium. They'll host a Boston Bruins team that has not been at its very best lately with just two wins in its last 10 games and it is 2-6 in its last 8 games as a favorite. This contest marks the opener of a home-and-home series, and I expect the home team to come through in this one.

8* play on Buffalo Sabres.
