Scoring an average of 3.76 goals per game, the Sabres are the highest scoring team in the NHL. In goal for Buffalo tonight is Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, who's 10-2-1 in his last 13 games. Although, Luukkonen requires some offensive support, as he has a 3.48 GAA at home. The Canes counter with Antti Raanta, who already picked up a 5-3 win against the Sabres earlier this season, and he's 8-0-1 in his last nine starts. Carolina has won six consecutive games, including a 5-4 overtime win last night against the Kings, in which the Canes overcame a 4-1 deficit in the third period. At this price, the Canes money line is definitely worth considering, but I think the over will prove the more feasible play between these two teams tonight.
Finally, I caught a break in the NHL last night with the Hurricanes rallying from down 4-1 in the third period to beat the Kings 5-4 in OT. I had given up on that one. That comeback took a LOT of energy and then the Canes obviously had to travel to Buffalo. It's not just the second of a B2B but third game in four nights for them. Feels like a throwaway game ahead of the AS Break. The Sabres have won five of six and are well-rested. Dylan Cozens (43 points) is back from a one-game absence.
