The Sabres have drifted out of the playoff picture barring a sudden reversal of fortunes in the final month of the season. Buffalo has dropped six straight and they have to deal with a Washington team that finds themselves in a war for the top spot in the Metropolitan Division again as the Flyers have been white hot of late. Washington just saw Philadelphia beat Buffalo on Saturday. The Sabres are reeling at the moment and I give the Capitals the major advantage in this contest.
