Buffalo are 2-8 SU in their last 10 games.

Prediction

The Golden Knights are dealing with some injuries but I think the Sabres shouldn't be a problem for them. Buffalo have lost 14 of their last 17 games at home, they have scored only one goal in their last 2 games and already lost to Vegas 5-2 earlier this season. Take the Golden Knights to cover the puck line.
