Think of 'Public' as the percentage of people betting on each side and 'Money' as how much money is being bet. When there's a big difference between the 'Public' and 'Money' data, it usually means that the more serious bettors (referred to as 'Sharp Money') are favoring a particular side.

Matt's Analysis:
It's the front end of a back-to-back for Tampa Bay, which apparently will give backup Brian Elliott his first start of the year. The Lightning are far from two-time Stanley Cup champion form -- they haven't led a game yet in regulation. That's crazy. Of course, the Bolts remain without former Hart Trophy winner Nikita Kucherov. Buffalo appears quite a bit better this season and at worst the Sabres should be able to hang within a goal (puckline is -135 but may go up a bit with Tampa starting Elliott) at home.
