These teams aren't that far from even especially as Buffalo is without Tage Thompson, and I'll always take a home side PL that's cheaper than a road ML price when the teams are close. Petr Mrazek has been surprisingly decent in net for the Hawks. Buffalo is on a three-game skid.

Not sure the Sabres should be laying this sort of price on the road, having lost three straight and scoring just four goals across that span, and dropping four of five overall into Untied Center on Sunday. This is more of a price-value play against Buffalo as the Hawks are also struggling with three losses on the spin, but Chicago also hasn't lost more than three in a row yet his season. Play Blackhawks on Money Line
